Re: Frog Business
 

I totally agree, if you have Tree frogs in your garden or around your house, you are lucky it means your area is very "healthy" as they do not want pollution, etc.

I have experienced frogs with nepenthes, the first time we had one, it was a Ventricosa which lived only 4 months or so (we didn't really know how to take care of them that time) but we saw a green tree frog take up residence INSIDE the pitcher. Yup! So cute, it used the pitcher as a home. When the nepenthes was about to die, the frog can't be found anymore, and haven't seen one since. Not sure if there is any documented accounts of frogs actually spawning in pitchers and tadpoles developing in them. That would be interesting.

Shawn, do you mean they are your pets? Or are they just growing wild around/outside your house? I am not too fond of frogs as pets, but as I said you are lucky that means your area is healthy.

Glad many people having same situation as mine.My dog is tied nearby the shade which houses the neps,orchide&begonias.I think sometimes the frog accidently goes nearby the dog which eventually got eaten by it.My bro names my dog Hank but i named it Hungry Ghost.

Its good to know there is some relationship between those two.Hope the frog "pupu" goes inside the pitcher to give some nutriens.:2thumbup:

Re: Frog Business
 

You even gave a name to the frog??Whatla James!

Re: Frog Business
 

No i didnt name the frogs.Its the dog's name la.

Aliam If you meant "pupu" I think he meant Frog droppings. It is interesting though that we also do use "pupu" here in the Philippines. My daughter always says she wants to "make pupu" in daddy's toilet.

If the frog makes "pupu and wee-wee" in the pitchers, maybe it might help the plant, but no scientific study there yet I guess.

Hi again,

No, not my pets but they are always around. Tonight as I walked up to the front door I looked down at a nep in a pot and noticed something different;
