Hi from terengganu
 

My name is Aisamuddin. You can call me din. Want to share something here. Here at my village there used to be a swamp forest, but because of deforesting and people want to make their home, they didn't realize they destroying the habitat of the carnivorous plant!!! Today, this evening when I came home from work, i shock when the small jungle has been cleared..I know in there too many carnivorous plant baby has emerged and they destroying just like that..I'm feel sad and go to the site to find any survivor. And finally I found one, not far from the road, sitting there waiting for me to rescue it, the sky turn dark already so cannot find another baby,..then I take it to my house..Tomorrow i'll try to find them again, hope that the bulldozer wont totally finished their work.........:unsure:

Re: Hi from terengganu
 

Dear din,

Hope u can rescue as many as u can...

Re: Hi from terengganu
 

ya, same here, it also happening to mountain near my house, now many people wanna eliminate the forest, but fortunately, there still got a lot of safe zone for it, porably will lose some place because of some pollution cause factory....sad....

Re: Hi from terengganu
 

Same case happen in Kedah,....

I do try a few place to look fr them, but until today I only can find N. albmarginata...

Re: Hi from terengganu
 

Yup..Lj_Tan..i'll definitely try to find another survivor tomorrow..Hope they still available:unsure: Good thing this forum exist, because I'll will know more info about the CP..before this don't know who to ask..I know this forum from other forum, quickly join after saw it *biggrin2* I'll like CP because of their weirdness that take insects or bug as their food, unlike any other plants ...My greatest thank you for those who made this forum, I really appreciated them. :1thumbup:

Re: Hi from terengganu
 

Hope they still wait fr you ....

I also just started for Nepenthes on last year but now I'm more for Drosera.

Re: Hi from terengganu
 

drosera u said... beautiful CP :wub: I'll start with nepensis fisrt, when I have more exp I'll try other variants also. :smile:

Re: Hi from terengganu
 

I'll mean nepenthes not nepensis...hehe..still learning their name.. *biggrin2*

Re: Hi from terengganu
 

lol, first, i would try a venusflytrap or cape sundew.....then, perhaps a nepenthes sanguinea later on...

Re: Hi from terengganu
 

hi and welcome to PP.. :) Sorry to hear the sad news, but i'm happy that you are on a rescue mission..

vincent, in Malaysia, neps are much easier to grow than VFTs..

Re: Hi from terengganu
 

ya....a lot easier......thats why my vft die....my first carnivorous plant....haizz

Re: Hi from terengganu
 

no wonder nepenthes can easily be seen in the jungle and swamp..the wild nepenthes at my home are the one whos inhibit at swamp forest...they can be tall as the tree :eek:... venus fly trap? where do u get them, vincent..from another country i guest???

Re: Hi from terengganu
 

Welcome to Petpitcher! Hope you can rescue them from destruction!

Vincent is not from here so it's easier to get a flytrap. Here, we need more experience! You can get some from Cameron Highlands or order through other members of the forum.

Re: Hi from terengganu
 

Huh you mean the species or the actual plant?

Re: Hi from terengganu
 

Good to have you with us Din... Sorry to hear your story but that's a familiar story that many of us have heard. :crying:

Hope you'll be able to save some of the neps before they disappear forever. :crying:

Terengganu still got many place that have neps growing just by road side. If you look carefully, you can also find Drosera burmanii there.

Re: Hi from terengganu
 

for marvin1997, I mean the actual plant, huhu...i still don't know the exact species, if i come home earlier after work, i'll try snap the picture and want expert here identify it...i said nepenthes bcoz i see in the gallery look almost same.. thanks you all for your cooperation...yesterday manage to rescue 2 others CP..

Re: Hi from terengganu
 

Wow.....

We can find Drosera burmanii in Malaysia,
I wish to take a look on it......

Re: Hi from terengganu
 

Good :1thumbup:

Re: Hi from terengganu
 

I would like to see the pictures pls:blush:

Re: Hi from terengganu
 

I really wish the mysterious neps that you're rescuing are N. rafflesiana... if it's N. rafflesiana, I will pay you a visit *biggrin2**biggrin2*

Re: Hi from terengganu
 

i think more to n. gracilis or n.mirabilis...these are the common neps when i was in desaru. they were all over the disturbed swampy area.:2thumbup:

Re: Hi from terengganu
 

Or N. ampullaria, it's also abundant there....

So far there's still no recorded sightings of N. rafflesiana in that state. That's why I "wish"ed... *biggrin2*

Re: Hi from terengganu
 

Can I joint you for the visit :shy:?

Re: Hi from terengganu
 

It's won't be a sight seeing trip... it's will be a trip that we only survived on bread and eating while driving... :sweating:

Re: Hi from terengganu
 

pls upload pic of the plant you rescued

Re: Hi from terengganu
 

Hello to all my friends, sorry late to reply ...the process to upload picture to the photobucket takes longer time than i expected...huhuhu....only 4 pics at one night..:sweating: wait ehh my friends

Re: Hi from terengganu
 

That is a really sad story, what kind of Carnivorous Plant did you rescue? Were you able to find more? If you are new with CPs I'd want to help as much as possible in your efforts for growing it.

Regards,

Sebastian

http://i751.photobucket.com/albums/x...e/100_4546.jpg

There in the bunch of that untouched part by bulldezer is where I found the only baby CP survivor.. :smile:

here is the look after i put them in vase...yes i need guidance for other forumer how to keep them best... thanks

Re: Hi from terengganu
 

It's OK for me.....*biggrin2*

Re: Hi from terengganu
 

Thanks for the pics Din, it's N. gracilis... It's very easy to grow, just take the natural soil that they grew on and use it. It's always sad to see sight like this, land being cleared away in the name of development :crying:

LJ,
Looks like I won't be going there anytime soon... since what Din found was N. gracilis.... :smile:

Re: Hi from terengganu
 

N.Gracilis u said, so its the CP scientific name..hehe...thanks..*biggrin2*

Re: Hi from terengganu
 

That is a nice plant. Try not to keep the medium wet, only humid, it looks waterlogged in the picture, that is not good. It should be well drained.

Re: Hi from terengganu
 

ohh i see, thanks for the info.. :smile:

Re: Hi from terengganu
 

good luck in growing them then....

Re: Hi from terengganu
 

Hi, Din. It's nice knowing that you managed to save some CPs from the dying swamp.....thats a real sad scene. Nice nepenthes you managed to save though, might I suggest that you use a pot that can drain? Never let the pot waterlogged but keep it moist, don't put fertiliser and keep the plant away from direct hot sun. Good luck growing it! :smile:

Re: Hi from terengganu
 

ok
