A couple weeks ago I received some incredible Nepenthes from the horticultural force himself, Paul Barden. The plants have been doing well in the Nepenthes dome. It’s slowly filling up, and am very thankful for the generous additions from Nitrogenseekers! Nepenthes is a genus that fascinates me and I can see why it’s so addicting. Here’s a few photos of the new babies that have made their home under the dome. Thanks again, Paul!

Nepenthes Update

Just a few quick updates on some of the Nepenthes action here!

Here’s an update on the Nepenthes fusca hybrid cutting from Paul. Many of those cuttings are showing growth points at this stage. Woohoo!

Oh, the cute little teeth are becoming a little more prominent!

Recently a new pitcher of Nepenthes jamban popped open! This Nepenthes really fascinates me. It has such a unique … toilet like shape. My understanding is “jamban” in Indonesian translates to “toilet.” Anyway, this Nepenthes by any other name would be just as awesome. I can’t wait for the other pitchers to open up… it has a couple more toilets, er, pitchers… forming that I’m looking forward to!

Just wanted to share a few assorted Nepenthes photos from the end of a bright winter’s work day. The setting sun was coming in at an angle that added a nice subtle glow to the deadly foliage.

So cute. But wait until it gets older, it gets soooo much cuter!
(Thanks Drew!)

Here’s a few Nepenthes photos! They’re lovin’ their dome and I’m seeing quite a bit of new pitchers forming. It’s all so exciting for me and I can see why these plants are so addicting!

Nepenthes Fusca Hybrid Cutting Update

Posted on November 13, 2012 | 1 comment

Back in September, Paul sent me a vine of a Nepenthes fusca hybrid to try cuttings on. Later that month, the cuttings looked like this. Those little grow point things have been slowly but surely growing, and looking good so far! I managed to slice the vine up into 10 pieces and so far 8 still look ok. As referenced in the earlier post, here’s a great link on how to do Nepenthes cuttings. Thanks again Paul!
