thank you guys, I guess it does kind of look like that. It would be cool if nepenthes fluoresced like coral!
As for the LED lights and lights in general I have one 650 watt "veg" array and a 700 watt "flower" array they're just the generic LEDs you see at hydroponic shops. I also have that supplemented with four 48" T5 @ 6500K.
But Nepenthes do fluoresce, at least their nectar does (I am unsure if all species do, though I have confirmed that at least one of my plants does.) If you have a blacklight handy it should make for quite a show with a large collection like yours.
Hmm I have a black light somewhere maybe I'll try that some time. Thanks for the tip.
Here are a few more, I just got a new point and shoot so I'm fiddling around with it. maybe these came out little better? only thing is this time the fogger was on, gah can't get it just right yet. I guess I have to do it wrong before I do it right.
Here is a tiny N. kinabaluensis (N. villosa x N. rajah) despite its size I really like the shape its grown into very shapely for such a small specimen.
two seed grown hamata and a small AW macro, among others.
Here re some close ups of the N. undulatifolia I can't wait till its leaves start to undulate.
Here is a tiny N. aristolochioides Not much to look at but it I just rediscovered it in my collection. About six months ago my misting system malfunctioned while I was gone for a few days and things got a little dry, I lost a couple of seedings but nothing too important. I assumed one of them was this N. aristolochioides. Well this past week I have been slowly going through my seedlings and freeing them of overgrown sphagnum as I do every so often as they get crowded. Well I found this small 5cm pot with only a large clump of sphagnum, which I thought was odd as I don't keep pots of just sphagnum moss. So I start digging through it and surprise there was my little N. aristolochioides !!
You have a nepenthes paradise on your hands there and it's proven by the fact that your seedling survived perfectly without you even knowing of its existence.
Pictures show up for me now that I'm at home. That's an amazing collection and setup I hope to have one day. Is your misting system a mistking? If so what settings/ how often does it mist?
