New Nepenthes Campanulata and neps updates...

Borneo Exotic MO finally arrived, I went to collect my 1 and only plant. That's because of space constrain. The plant looked pretty healthy and nice. I am happy with it!

Nepenthes Campanulata on the far right, and some plants from the MO(not mine)


Nepenthes Campanulata : potted up!




Nepenthes updates...

The newest Rafflesiana refuse to open it's lid, and it's still swelling..


Mean while, the stowaway Raff no.2 has grown so much and so fast.


Nepenthes Ampullaria : That stressed pitcher update, maybe it's a intermediate pitcher?


Nepenthes Ampullaria : While the same plant has a very brown new leaf


Nepenthes Hookeriana Tri color : The old and new pitcher comparison, the new one has a dark red lid :)


Nepenthes Viking Seed grown : Like a baby


At the mean time........ this jumping spider (salticidae) has been lurking around controlling the tiny ant population. Good job spidy!

The Dewy plants

Here's some updates on my sundews and a babylis

The D. Auriculata (Tuberous sundew) seedlings are growing well! Keeping my fingers crossed under this heat.(33C+-)


D. Burmannii - Came as a stowaway in my VFT pot, I remembered the flowers were pink, it has new stalk, lets find out soon,


D. Capillaris - Never gotten sick of this one, always dewy and nice color.


D. Beleziana - Can't wait for this cutting to get bigger!


Byblis Liniflora - Apparently the plant is getting too tall for my grow shelf, I cut off a few inch to see if it will brunch out, well it did!


Flower bloom before I cut the plant

Drosera Adelae getting crazy

Here's some update on the Adelae. They seems to be doing well I guess. It's reddish from too much light? wavy leaves from stress? Otherwise, dewy from high humidity.

Here's one that decides to play peek-a-boo. Must be a root growth seeking light from the drain hole on the side of the pot.


A Closer look


Here's most of the off shoots which I removed from the main pot surface

Great collection at Sandy's Aug 2015

I had the opportunity to visit a great collector's CP collection. It was an eye opener. There were many variety and most were Low and Intermediate nepenthes. I'm pretty new to the Nepenthes world so I am not able to identify what they are, but I bet most of you do.
