Good start to a collection especially the D. regia.

Anyone with darlingtonia makes me so so jealous. BTW Nice list. Get more neps.

Re: Spark's growlist
 
I love neps. But I suspect most neps would probably die here. I haven't got a terrarium, just a windowsill! So no temperature or humidity control. If they're not okay with a pretty constant 70F and around 30%, they're not going to make it. Well, or I suppose I could try them outside, but I don't think most neps like zone 8. :P I probably will eventually try a few more of the hardier ones eventually. We'll see!

N. khasiana is one of the most cold tolerant nep. Why don't you try that.

Re: Spark's growlist
 
Just bought some new plants today. Added a venus fly trap, a n. alata, and two new sars, Judith Hindle and Rubra.

Thanks! :D

I should post some photos one of these days.

Can you post pictures of your lithops and drosera? I just love them.

Re: Spark's growlist
 
I went to take some pictures. My camera was refusing to cooperate today, everything came out all out of focus. Stupid thing. :P

Here's one of the lithops. I'll try again on the drosera later.

Try some more neps. I'd doubt that you would need a terrarium in Oregon. Some of the best nep growers live there. Your house should be plenty warm during the winter.

Re: Spark's growlist
 
I only have so much windowsill space though. It's already kind of full! And I don't think they'd be happy sitting on my desk on the dark side of the room.

Re: Spark's growlist
 
Well, I got rid of some aloes, which cleared some windowsill space, so I ordered two more neps. Although I may have bitten off more than I can chew, they're both lowlanders. But I'll see what I can do. One thing is that this house is always warm. I can't stand cold temperatures myself, so my room is heated. XD So I just have to keep them humid! Ordered a bicalcarata and an ampullaria.

I also bought a bromeliad, and added that to the list! I mentioned that already over in the other plants area. :D Going to get some orchids soon too, I think. Particularly if I can find a couple that like lower light, so they can sit next to the window, and not on the windowsill.

Re: Spark's growlist
 
They came! Four kinds of venus fly trap, three kinds of nepenthes, and a whole mess of unknown sarracenia hybrid seedlings. :D

Spark,is my plieospilos is a neli?

spark 11th June 2009 11:04 AM

Re: Spark's growlist
 
It is! Sorry, I should have said. :D I forget that part, because I never see any other kind of pleiospilos around. Nelii is the most common species, and I think there's only one other.

Re: Spark's growlist
 
I added my new succulents, and also a link to my photo growlist website, so people can see photos of my plants. :)

You should be able to grow Cephalotus without a terrarium. They come from a temperate area in Western Australia and can grow with relatively low levels of humidity. The key for Cephalotus is strong light.
