Re: hang them
 
Hi Alien, they are harmless and only need temporary refuge during the day. They will be out in the evening and may jump back to the same pot unless they found new shelter. I also found inbetween the pots a pair of toad with smaller ones (likely their babies). They hunt for insects don't they, they should be left alone:smile:

Well, frogs should benefit nepenthes with excrement. I found a frog resting in a half dried miranda pitcher at a nursery :smile:

Ya,they are harmless i guess.Just worried they disturb the rooting and also bring some organic material into the pot through urine etc...So far just left them alone.

2 latest formed pitchers, but tiny, nevertheless the whole plant look healthy. The fern growing much faser. Its roots have to be trim off else growing into and entangling neighbouring orchids.
