As I get into the first winter I've had my new growroom, I'm happy to find that highland temps are pretty easy to maintain. By keeping the door to the garage closed, and the fan in the window only blowing in at night, I'm getting 78 during the day and 50 at night. Well, about 48 last night. The plants are happy. Here's a quick couple of pics from tonight:

N. jacquelinea and U. reniformis. This is just a little guy:

N. hamata baby, hairy as can be (but not "hairy hamata"!)

Here are a trio of happy pitchers. Two N. veitchii x lowii and an about-to-open N. ramispina. The N. veitchii x lowii pitchers last forever, and the larger one here has a hairy lid and even some of the white crystal stuff that forms on N. lowii lids.

And finally, not a nepenthes, but a nice H. ionasii currently flowering:

Awesome! Great plants with excellent colors.
 
Great photos!

Did the H. ionasii arive with adult pitchers? Over here (UK & Europe) you can only get tiny plants of that species with junvenile pitchers that take forever to grow!!

cheers

That baby hamata looks like he stuck his finger in the electrical socket! Very nice looking CPs. Very nice color!

Where do you live to get these good conditions?
 
Capslock ,
nice plants! And nice pitchers for incoming Christmas! ;)
I am interested in knowing something more about your jaqueline and ramispina.
Can you post pictures of the whole plant and tell their age and growing conditions?
Thanks!

Thanks!

Bill, here's the H. ionasii when I got it from Tony P. It had just made it's first mature pitchers, but it was a pretty good size already.

Mr. Aga, here's a pic of the N. ramispina. Everyone should have one!:

Both are grown in my basement grow room under t5 fluorescent lights. Temps are 50s to upper 70s during the day.

nepenthesAK: I live in San Francisco, and yes, it's easy to grow highland nepenthes here. Cool and humid year round!

Here are a couple more:
N. boschiana:

N. burbidgae:

N. x Splendiana, intermediate/upper with intermediate to the right in back:

And finally, excuse the sludgy tray, but here's my N. mira which is picking up the growing pace lately:

Well if you are passing them out I wouldn't want to dissappoint you! That is an amazing plant. If you ever have an extra cutting... lol. I have killed for less than that!
