Thanks for the kind comments and if you want palnts like this that you cannot find or have had trouble or difficulty obtaining a certain rare plant like N.Rajah,N.Lowii,N.Aristoichioldes,etc. then try Tony.

I got my Lowii and Hamata from Tony as well. I haven't picked up a Rajah yet, but yesterday I ordered a Eustachya and Northiana (lowlanders).  I forgot Nep G - how are you chilling your tank at night? Are you using the ice bottle method? What size tank is that you have them in?

I just ordered the wrong Gracillis the other day I see according to your photos.... It's the black one I wanted...

I'll just have to buy another later!
 
I cool my tank by putting the hamata,Lowii,and Rajah in a styrafoam box and put it in a fridge overnight. Temp gets to about 43F. I need to make it abit warmer. Also you order the wrong gracilis, but it is the black one you wanted!!!!!!!

That's what I need! A terrarium that looks like a lounge chair! Then I can just sit and stare at the plants all day with a cold beer. ...

Too bad there isn't any room in the greenhouse for a lounge chair hehe.

We can design one that can flip down from the greenhouse ceiling!

 Also, notice I left the plants in thier original pots but placed the square pots in a round pot as the square ones you use wouldn't stand up on the grating, they were really tippy so the round pot just stabilizes them. Wonderful plants Tony! Thanks a million!

Nice plants, Nep. G. I wish I could get some.

if you want an Hamata or Lowii or something real rare/hard to get at a good price order from Tony!

I ordered a gracilis from someone who had larger size plants of both the regular gracilis and the "niagrapurpurea" variety (supposed to make black pitchers right?) I ordered the regular because I didn't know the other one was the black variety, which is the one I wanted. I'll just have to order the other some other time.
 
  • #17
Yeah it is the one that acutally the whole palnt can become blackish too, just like the pitchers. Who did you order it form? Private mesanger is a good idea too.

Nice plants, I am impressed by the large size of the plants and may change the website i was going to order off of. If yall havent figured it out niagrapurpurea happens to mean black, purple in Latin. Very impressive plants.
