Re: Newbie testing section (FOC)
 

Hi Casey,
Did you send out through pos express, poslaju or normal mail? Still hv not received your mail. I'm fearing the worst right now, hving missing pos express from Nepnuts. Shd've pay slightly more for poslaju.

Re: Newbie testing section (FOC)
 

i think pos express delay now(i hope).i had sent a pos express to Jimmy at late monday and expecting it to reach today but he PM and said still havent arrive yet.i hope its just delay and not lost.

hows your lost alpiner from nepnut b4?do tell me for experience :)




Thanks
Harris

Re: Newbie testing section (FOC)
 

Using tracking number, online shows attempted delivery the next day, and final delivery the day after. I don't know what attempted delivery meant with pos express dropping into mail box, but in reality the mail was nowhere to be found. :thumbdown: I called their 1-300 numbers from Mon till Wed during working hour, everytime reached voicemail saying they're closed during public holiday and Sun. :mad: I got email response after ~1wk.:veryangry: Allen added he has experience pos express reached his dest in 2 week. So I checked everyday after that, and finally gave up. Rob is kind enough for refund. But I had phobia with pos express since.
Hopefully this round is just a delay that doesn't kill the content.

Some of statement from email exchange:-
"For your information as stated on the envelope, Pos Express envelope only meant for document posting. Pos Malaysia Berhad is not liable for any loss of valuables or item posted. In term of compensation, Pos Malaysia Berhad is only liable to compensate in case of late delivery with a new Pos Express envelope."
I didn't ask for compensation, nor did I mention about what I'm waiting for.

"Pertaining to your complaint below, please advice sender to make an enquiry. All enquiries should be raised by sender within 10 working days from posting date. "
It's already after 10 working days when I got this email:bored:

Re: Newbie testing section (FOC)

i hope mine just delay 1-3days or buyer will think i scam :(

Re: Newbie testing section (FOC)

Re: Newbie testing section (FOC)
 

No more seeds after all the waiting. :mad: But I'm in Rob's priority list for next batch.:1thumbup:

We need to stop hijacking Casey's thread. Otherwise, I won't get #3,4,....

Re: Newbie testing section (FOC)
 

wauh!!! the box kemek ar?

Re: Newbie testing section (FOC)
 

i hope the one i sent to Jimmy arrive soon.

anyways,uncle kc,u got the hygrometer i sent u?

Re: Newbie testing section (FOC)
 

my in law said there is parcel for me. But she left it at grandmum house. Tomorrow will know it is hygrometer or VFT.

Re: Newbie testing section (FOC)
 

well, since you have two nepenthes cutting, maybe you can try this experiment instead, put the cutting inside the water directly and remember keep the water level constant, and beware of mosquito larvae also, this should make a very interesting experiment
i see if i can post pic by tomorrow or sat

Re: Newbie testing section (FOC)
 

gracilis can growing well in just water... All my gracilis cutting is grow in water. :smile:

Re: Newbie testing section (FOC)
 

casey, my drosera seeds germinated and are now 2-3mm...how long more before i remove the cover that is used to cover the pot?

Re: Newbie testing section (FOC)
 

Hey mr casey . . . . . .just asking here if u have any extra s.leucophylla and neps cutting ?? *biggrin2*

Re: Newbie testing section (FOC)
 

Lol Casey.....lots of nice CP to give away to newbies! :smile: I'm planning to try out ventrata cuttings since I never really succeeded with cuttings. Will give some away next time. Good luck to those who got their plants.

Re: Newbie testing section (FOC)
 

I realy want to have a sarracenia leucophylla. . . . :crying:
And I am still a newbie at neps........so I think its easier to start with cuttings....but I dont have cuttings:crying:

Re: Newbie testing section (FOC)
 

So far, leucophylla is quite rare in Malaysia. A few members have it, but I haven't gotten seeds or a leucophylla plant before.

Nep cuttings are hard for me........wonder how you guys do it. Do you leave the cutting in a solution of diluted rooting hormone??

Re: Newbie testing section (FOC)
 

That makes me even more wanting to own a s.leucophylla. . . T.T

Uncle kc u got extra one to spare?:crying:

Re: Newbie testing section (FOC)
 

Edward, Its quite easy to make cuttings...What i do is i cut a portion of the plant with myabe 2/3 nodes or something and chuck it into moss and see if it grows thats all....Some does some doesn't..

Re: Newbie testing section (FOC)
 

i think it will be better if you direct put them in water, wait until rooting, then only you transplant, but usually i left them in water for forever....:laugh: juz like my N.gracilis

Re: Newbie testing section (FOC)
 

if you fail in ventrata cutting, then you must not try on other neps... you shud get >90% survival rate on ventrata if you do it correctly.

Anyone in Pg can get ventrata cutting from me...

Re: Newbie testing section (FOC)
 

You can open the cover slowly and expose it to more sunlight slowly as well. Please protect those plant from rain... Else, you may spent hours to find it... ;)

s.leucophylla, no more. neps gracilis rooted cutting, have. But, leaf is just around 2cm long and not as big as previous.

edward, you never try propagate nepenthes by stem cutting? Must try. For me, it is better propagate more then 1 plant... In case... opppsss... touch wood!!!*biggrin2*

Re: Newbie testing section (FOC)
 

I propagate it using water method. Please refer to https://forum.petpitcher.net/showthread.php?t=7616


Sorry wor... Dont have anymore...

In my case, im make sure each cutting have 2 nodes.

Re: Newbie testing section (FOC)
 

2/3 meaning 2 or 3 nodes :)

Re: Newbie testing section (FOC)
 

Mr casey . . . . . Where did you get your previous s.leucophylla?
Next time if u got extra be sure to pm me.*biggrin2*

Re: Newbie testing section (FOC)
 

I tried nep cuttings before. Didnt't work for me :blush: but now that I have a bigger house, I can easily do my cuttings anywhere :smile:

Next time do cuttings on EP hybrids, hehehehehehehe.....

Re: Newbie testing section (FOC)
 

Received mine few days ago. Good plant in wonderful condition :1thumbup:. Thx casey

Re: Newbie testing section (FOC)
 

You must try it!!! 1 of backup plan of our CP is by cutting... in case anything happen to existing plant. opppssss... touch wood!!!!
2nd purpose is to sell/trade it with others members. Else, yours pocket hole will be bigger and bigger!!!!

Jimmy, it is great that those plant is doing well there. Especially the D. intermedia 'cuba'. They start producing dew!!!! You can puy yours D. intermedia 'cuba' under direct sunlight.

BTW, the gracilis cutting that I give away will produce brown color pitcher is it receive enough sunlight. :1thumbup:

Re: Newbie testing section (FOC)

Re: Newbie testing section (FOC)
 

Lets me check what I have FOC for newbie... eemmm... What is the lighting condition that you can provide? BTW, please drop me a PM ya... Else, im sure forget about that. :shy:

Re: Newbie testing section (FOC)

Re: Newbie testing section (FOC)
 

Both plant is doing fine and GREAT!!!! Well DONE

Re: Newbie testing section (FOC)
 

Great job alpiner! I should have participated :tongue:

Re: Newbie testing section (FOC)
 

Thx Casey/Ed. Few questions on the rooted cutting, are the roots going to grow along the stem that buried under sphagnum moss? If not, I may hv planted slightly lower than optimum.
