Hello guys..
 

Hi, came to know about this great site through bactrus. Met him during the floral fest at Penang botanical garden. He's a very friendly guy,i must say. Anyways I'm Keen Wah from Penang,only have experience in venus flytrap (died few months ago..haha..) and pitcher plant bought earlier this year...
Wish to start on CP collection but don't know where to start(seeds,maybe?)

Looking foward to making new friends here,please add my MSN keen_oa@hotmail.com Thanks!:1thumbup:

Re: Hello guys..
 

Welcome, Keen Wah. Be careful of the toxic here. Everyone is crazy over CPs here!!! Hahahaha...........don't worry. You will expand your collection soon. Try to get some nepenthes from local nurseries. Btw, what CPs do you grow?

Cheers

Re: Hello guys..
 

Hi Keen wah...

First of all welcome to pet pitcher forum....

The best way to start a collection is to try on established plants which you could get from nursery or some reliable contact...

Nepenthes seeds is not a good option for starter because after germination nepenthes will take at lease 2-3 years before they mature... "for some people this 2-3 years period will be like forever...."

Anyway good luck on your carnivorous plant hunt :1thumbup: as for cultivating of carnivorous plant if you have any question feel free to post in our discussion board i'm sure you will get a hand full of good advice form our fellow forum members^^

Regards
Jonathan

Welcome Keen Wah. Never mind, you will slowly increase your collection. You can buy CPs from your local nursery or from forum members. Yah, what CPs do you grow?

Re: Hello guys..
 

WELCOME!!!!!!(nothing more to say is there)

Re: Hello guys..
 

Perhaps you could ask for drosera seeds or some easy to grow seeds......anyways, welcome again! Take your time in expanding your collection........and don't worry about your flytrap incident. I had the same fate as you......my first flytrap died to my overwatering. After that, I was more careful.

Ban Aik......you just had to poison some guys while at Penang........sigh.....

WElcome again!

Cheers

Re: Hello guys..
 

keenoa,

PM me your mailing address. I have some "door gifts" to mail to you.

To trade in the forum, you can do to the respective boards. There's a board for selling/buying stuff and another for exchange/giveaway. If someone is offering soemthing for sale, and you want it you can either post in the thread that you want the item or PM (Personal Message) the person. Payment arrangement is between you and the seller and should be done through PM.

But you've got to check the threads in the boards to see if the offer has expired.

If you are unsure about anything in the forum, feel free to PM me and I'll try to help.

Re: Hello guys..
 

Here in KL, there is quite a number of nurseries that have CPs. If you want, I will try my best to give you seeds when any of my CPs have flower. Do make a growlist.

Cheers
