Which Nepenthes is the smallest? Smallest leaves, and hopefully stem, but pitchers can be like, huge, they dont matter... This is basically a question for choosing a Nep for a terrarium... Do neps go well with Helis
Hmm..... Nepenthes aren't really the smallest growing plant but I would say for the smallest most compact plant would go with N.Campanulata which grows a rossette of short neat leaves with medium sized pitchers on an EXTREMLY compact stem. Very Rare also.
N.Argentii which only makes long tendrils is also a tiny Nepenthes. Tiny but astounding and neat pitchers. Nice and compact stem and leaves aren't too long.
N.Ovata is pretty compact too pitchers are nice and fairly large when grow to maturity.
N. Aristochioldes is pretty small and compact for a while, then it will tend to climb. I think this is about it for small,compact,neat Nepenthes most will become a fairly large vining mass of leaves,tendrils, and massive pitchers!
That is IT! Nepenthes campanulata!!! I saw this plant on this website, and I couldnt find it again!!! I saw it sooooo long ago, and I've wanted it since!!! Now that I know all about it, I want it even more... Heres the website: <a href="http://www.malesiana.tropicals.com.my/tropicals/nep-cam.html
Parasuco Phill Mann www.scarnivores.com has campanulata, I saw it the other day. If you are going to order from overseas then he is probably the cheapest. I don't know of anyone in the US or Canada that has it. I am kicking myself for not having got some too.
Did you see the online magazine article about it a few months back, can't remember the name of the mag but if no one else here can tell you I'm sure I can find the link.
No way! They are both true-to-the-blue highlands. Sorry pal! You may wanna go with a Nepenthes Thorelli or N.Tobaicia for small pitcher size but not small plants!!! Large viney messes is what they will look like! But since your so far south you maby could grow them outside where they could run rampant. Just a suggestion.
