by the way, where can i get low price plant for beginner and some knowledge bout those plants? preferably somewhere near puchong since my geographical knowledge is very bad:biggrin:

Re: I'm da newbie of all newbie
 

Just go to almost any nursery and you will find a ventrata. Its cheap, I got 1 for RM12. Maybe some nurseries will sell them for RM20 + Its a very easy plant. Refer to this forum and ask questions if you don't know something. A lot of experts are in this forum. Try buying some books from this forum's bookstore. It benefits both the forum and you.

Yeah, ventrata is an easy plant to grow. But it tends to become green and boring in LL conditions.

OKOK, I know you are confused by the word LL. It means lowland. Nepenthes grows in three zones. The zones are lowland, intermediate and highland. Highland is cold, intermediate is between highland and lowland, and lowland is the temperature of the place we are living.

Sungai buloh has lots of plants, but very few has superb quality neps.

Re: I'm da newbie of all newbie
 

Well, is your hill high? How is the temperature?

Re: I'm da newbie of all newbie
 

depends,
hot weather-almost the same as every where, can fry egg on the floor
cool weather-cooler
rainy day-similar to cameroon highland, lemon tea become ice lemon tea
rainy day with strong wind plus a thunder-chilling and some times soft roof flying away...and my tv habis because of the storm:laugh:

Hey........why there is some stars in my word??I didn't put that?

Re: I'm da newbie of all newbie
 

Hi

Well if you do stay by a hillside still most probally its in lowland conditions just maybe slightly cooler and higehr humidity...Most highland neps/nepenthes will produce smaller or innatractive pitchers under lowland conditions..As for intermediates in my own opinion they are the most troublesome to grow them into optimum conditions since hardly anyone ever creates an intermediate greenhouse or an intermediate terrarium...Its either lowland or highland..But intermediates will do good in both lowland and highland most of the time.
