My Nepenthes spathulata x rob is just opening its first pitcher in my care, and I took a quick photo of the teeth just starting to form.

My pot of D. dichrosepala are really starting to come in. There is about 30 of them, so I just took a few shots of the largest ones.

Also my N. ventricosa newest pitcher has some crazy peristome thingy. Im pretty sure this will color up and curl into a nice peristome, but Ive never had a plant with one of these before so I honestly have no idea.

Yeah the N. ventricosa is just popping out before it rolls over. The bigger the peristome the more the "pop". Your N. spathulata x robcantleyi is doing it too, actually, and its peristome is much bigger.

Ah okay :) This is the first pitcher that my N. ventricosa has done that on, so hopefully itll be a nice peristome!

Well my gemmae started sprouting within 3 days of sowing them, Id say theyre about a month old now.

Wow mine are either behind or different subspecies grow at different rates

Well how old are the gemmae? Mine were less than an hour old when I sowed them as I harvested them my self.

I sowed them 13 days ago and I'm not shore how old they were before I got them I would say at least a week

Hmm, Im not sure. If theyre still green theres still a chance for them to sprout though, so dont give up hope till they turn brown.

(sorry for the poor quality on a lot of these photos.)

My mess of D. binata seedlings have finally produced a fork leaf.

My N. ventricosa opened this beauty! It even has a little derpy tooth on the side of its peristome.

N. burkei made this tubby little thing.

And has another one on the way, right underneath its first pitcher.

"Redhead"s pitchers seem to turn bright pink as they age.

N. "Red Leaopard" cutting has made 2 leaves and one is inflating a pitcher! Im assuming its rooted :)

Cephalotus lids are so cool.

And the inside of my N. spathulata x rob reminds me of digital camo.

I figured Id post some pictures of my actual setup, its a greenhouse/growtent in my bedroom window.

First Shelf, water catches and moss culture.

Second Shelf, most of my Nepenthes, my Cephalotus, and the conditions monitor. (That moss is just there temporarily to dry out.)
oggYMOS.jpg


Third shelf, drosera, small sarracenia, N. "Red Leapord" cutting, and the mister. (its in a cleaned out cut in half coffee can)
L3RuEmX.jpg


Fourth and very top shelf has my mammoth spathulata x rob ((it doesnt fit anywhere else XD) and another moss culture.

Since my setup is level with my bunk bed, this is what I get to wake up to every morning. (Imagine morning sun, its cloudy in the pics lol)

Oh my god so cool!! Doesn't it get too hot with the tent during summer? Finally we get to see your whole set up! Thanks

Love the colour of the sundews. Is it lanata?
Cheers

Thanks :) And no, it doesnt get too hot because it has ventilation (If you look in the first picture, bottom right you can see it. Its a super ghetto setup. Its a cut in half milk carton attached to paper towel tubes, taped onto a fan.)
