Hi Cindy,
Neil_Wilkinson is at gardenweb http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/carnivor/
Attached is an extract of his e-mail to me.
"I used to know some-one called cindy. Also from Singapore who was interested in
cp's. Also had an impressive web-site but her e-mai laddress is no longer valid.
Great to hear from you. Keep in touch.
Best wishes, Neil."

Bjorn Norman, Did you ever live here as a child? Any memories or recollections of Singapore? Just was wondering which country is better for growing carnivorous plants. I guess it also depends which ones,........ What is the weather like in Norway? I always imagine bright skies but a cold wind in the air. I guess you grow most of your plants indoors eh?
My oh my...it's getting exciting...now we have 3 registered Singaporeans (Yes Neil, you ARE included) on the PFT forum.
Whee!!!
Others may wonder at my delight but considering that Singapore is SO small, 3 is a good number.
Bjorn Norman:
You mean your mum lived in Singapore? N you are norwegian? Coincidently, I attended a lesson on astronomy today, by a norwegian associate professor...
Jalan Kayu:
I only have nepenthes with me except for p.Sethos and d.intermedia...the rest of my temperate CP all died because of a bad bout of root rot or root mealies.
The plants are all facing east too, on the 14th level. Which neps do you have?
You may want to take a look at my web site...nothing great...I've got much lesser plants now.

Cindy, well, my father is Malaysian and his job send him to Singapore to do someting there, my mom is Norwegian and she follow dad to Singapore when he got some jobs there, so I'm a mix between Malaysian and Norwegian, they moved to Kuala Lumpur where I was born...
Neil, the weather here is strange, cold, warm, snow, sunny, hail and rain, that's a typical weather in May for North to South, LOL
I like cold weather better than warm.
I grow all my CP inside, but i can put my temperet species like Pinguicula grandiflora and P. vulgaris outside if I want. I have a little trouble growing Nepenthes and winter growing species here because of the space and light (I don't get sunlight for 2 mounhts because the mountain beside me).

Hi Cindy & Sing CPers
The Neps that I grow? I was not too accurate when I last said 20, made a list when your question came up, to be exact, 29 types:
N. alata (Banaue, highland)(M)
N. albomarginata (Penang, red) very slow growing
N. albomarginata(Kuching,spotted)
N. ampullaria (Bau, spotted)
N. bellii
N. bicalcarata (Marudi) slow
N. bicalcarata (Sri Aman)
N. eustachya
N. gracilis (singapore)
N. longifolia
N. hirsuta (Kuching, green)
N. hirsuta (Kuching, spotted)
N. Khasiana
N. macrovulgaris
N. merrilliana
N. mindanaoensis
N. mirabilis (L)
N. northiana
N. maxima (Borone, lowland)
N. reinwardtiana (Bau, lowland)
N. rafflesiana (L)
N. truncata (red)
N. veitchii (Bau, lowland)
N. ventricosa (black peristome) (M)
N. albomarginata x veitchii
N. clipeata x rafflesiana
N. coccinea (L)
N. gentle (L)
N. ventrata (3 forms)(L)
(L/M)=sizes S for those unmarked
The Neps came from different sources, some are found in Singapore nurseries, but mostly ordered from
malesiana.tropicals
I have recently trimmed the larger plants, took some cuttings, not rooted yet.

Hi all,
I'm from Singapore too but I'm new to CPs... got them from a local grower who was featured in one of the local papers a few weeks ago.... are any of you him by the way?
Anyway, where do you all get your CPs from? Just out of interest...
My pics of my CPs (only 3... heh) are here: http://www.pbase.com/ebeyonder

Nice pics ebeyonder, especially liked the picture of the poor ant on the N. gracilis rim.
Just to let everyone know, I've now rearranged all my photos into 2 albums. I've also added 4 new species (gracilis, hirsuta, albomarginata and truncata) and a few hybrids/unknown.
You can see a few shots of my balcony and a few nepenthes plants at : http://community.webshots.com/user/neilsingapore
Jalan Kayu - wow, you have so many nepenthes. Any chance of any photos?
Also, how do you create a 'signature'? The words in blue at the bottom?

Welcome to PFT! I 'm the Cindy jalan kaya mentioned. Was the only regular Singaporean here until the rest joined recently.
Well, we all start small...in fact, I started with only one VFT.
jalan kayu: You've only started 9 months ago and you've got so many plants...how do you cope? I have only one side of the window in a regular HDB room to keep my CPs.

Cindy: I took over the 5-room point balcony almost completely for CPs, even though I own the HDB apartment, still need permission from my wife and may be my children….he is mad and growing CPs is the cause as well as the cure… but at least he will be at home and not at some grass cutting ball hitting places… ha ha ha.
The trick is to use the vertical space. Mounted 4 stainless chains a cross the length of the balcony at about 2.2 meters (h), the larger Neps are hang from the chain at different height (using hocks of different length), The smaller plants are place on modified plastic kitchen shelves of 5 layers…. I am sort of DIY guy. 2 of the chain is reserved for laundry drying.
Neil: photo? Too lazy to set up a gallery website… will come to that soon. Ha, You already found the solution to your question.
EBeyonder: right now my Pings are few and small, will let U know when I have extra

Hi all,
Great to find that there are more people growing CPs in Singapore! Hope to share information with all.
I have just started keeping some specimens and hope that they will survive. I live on the ninth floor and it is pretty windy and dry up here. Trying to get hold of some Australian Drosera if I could in the future.
Cheers
