Still no luck with the P. chilensis. I think I'm going to try putting the pot on my heating pad to raise the daytime temperature and see if that helps.
Those mini greenhouses are absolutely awesome. youre going to want to make sure the bottom parts are sealed up through,
they will mildew your carpet fast as a roadrunner.
Yes I am excited about the D. pauciflora. I've got a bunch of D. cistiflora seedlings here too and that adult plant that's just now finally waking up. I'm hoping that one's big enough to flower this year though I'll have to wait and see.
As for the mini greenhouse - I don't have a humidifier for it yet. I'm researching right now to figure out what I need and I think I should also insulate it in some way so the heater doesn't have to run as much and so it won't cool down so much at night.
And Nem - I'm 100% LEDs now and I'm not planning on going back. I do like the idea of having a constant heat source rather than a thermostat system though.
Nepenthes "Black Knight" by Nimbulan, on Flickr
ID to be confirmed, the appearance is quite different from many "Black Knight" pictures I've seen online.
Deer shed by Nimbulan, on Flickr
I found this right outside my home, sitting in the grass. I never imagined I'd find a deer shed even if I was purposefully looking for one, but there it was.
Yeah it's a really nice plant. I picked it up because it was cheap and looked decent and I've been really impressed with it. This particular clone seems to produce much more intensely-colored pitchers than most people have too, though it may just be due to light intensity.
Hey sorry I missed your post before. I wish it was a reliable trait but that's the first time this plant has done anything like it in 2 and a half years.
Drosera hilaris by Nimbulan, on Flickr
Experimenting with trying to grow seedlings of this species over the summer, since I've read that dormancy is optional.
I remember it being a reasonably vigorous species. I gave one to my friend a long time ago that was between 2 and 3 inches across that seemed to put out a new leaf every other time I visited his house. It did all this despite being grown in a sealed glass box 4 feet from the window.
