Hello everybody!
 

Hello!

My name is Mateusz (nick: Gringo) and I live a little bit further than Malaysia or the surrounding areas - I live in Poland , exactly near Rybnik:smile:. I grow carnivorous plants since 2003. I don't have so good environment as you in the South - East Asia to grow Nepenthes, but exotic plants are my favourite ones (especially Nepenthes and Heliamphoras :1thumbup:). I made an account here, because I always wanted to keep in contact with people with the same interests as mine and living in a so far away country from Poland :smile:. I hope that I'll learn some useful things for cultivation here, and maybe one day help you all.

Regards,
Gringo

Welcome Gringo.

Re: Hello everybody!
 

Hey Gringo. A BIG WELCOME to you. Hope to see pictures of your Heliam and get some tips from you on growing these beauties.

Welcome to PP.. :) BTW, do you grow in cellars when the season gets too cold..?

Re: Hello everybody!
 

No, I grow my Nepenthes, ephiphytic Utricularias, Brocchinias and one Heliamphora in a terrarium. There is not much light during winter (only 46W :thumbdown:), but in the begginnings I grew my plants on the windowsill, without any extra light during winter, so they are prepared for this :2thumbup:. What about Heliamphora - I've got only one now, but when I'll earn some extra money I'll buy another ones. My growlist:

Welcome Grinco to the forum.

Re: Hello everybody!
 

A very warm welcome to you, Gringo. Hope you enjoy the forum. Yes, we should share and help each other, that's what the forum for! :laugh:
In Poland, I think you are more readily for highland neps then we do, most of us living in the lowland:bored:! Heliamphora are more comfortable in your place for sure. Hey! you are lucky!:1thumbup:
Welcome again!

Hello!!Is brocchinia the carnivorous bromeliad?

Re: Hello everybody!
 

Hello and welcome to petpitcher. Hope you'll find something useful here.

Re: Hello everybody!
 

Yes, Brocchinia reducta and B. hechtioides are carnivorous, B. tatei is supposed to be a CP, too.
