Hi guys! I am sweating bullets here since a friend who shall remain nameless please kindly sent me 6 or 7 N. campulata, 2 N. albo-marginata and a N. argenti.
One N. albo-marginata and one N. campanulata lacks roots.
The N. campanulata are quarter sized rosettes. N. argenti is about the size of a 3 month VFT seedling. The N. albo-marginata are silver dollar sized.
This was unlooked for and I am looking for advice as to how best establish these babies. All are currently in a domed salad bowl that has nice established and growing LFS, and is very clean. I assume this will be a good nursery, at least short term. The plants are on the lowermost shelf ogf my grow room, but it can still hit 80F there. Things wil be cooling down at night: already my outdoor highland Neps are pitchering again after just sitiing there all summer.
It was amusing to see that with the packaging of the first boxes of plants I have been able to send out in ages, this package should arrive the same day. I guess I should just expect it, since it has happened so many times.
So I will finally have my crack at N. argentii. It has one good leaf less than a cm long, and a root. I am not overly optimistic, but it is exciting to have this plant at last. I've done more with less!
I hope to be able to offer the plants at some time in the future, so wish me success!
