thanks. glad you guys like 'em

Re: my neps pics for july

Wah! Brother, your have a very healthy collection. Keep it up.

Re: my neps pics for july

thanks BA. actually they are only just recovering my from my abuse when i started work. many of them (my northianas and camps + others) have yet to give me a pitcher and some are still in ICU to see if they will even make it back, not to mention pitchering.

Re: my neps pics for july

Nice collection you got there. Thanks for sharing.

Re: my neps pics for july

I think most of us "abuse" our plants by not caring enough for them due to commitments. Yours seems to do well bro. What kinda IV (treatment) you provide in ICU? Wonder if you can share. Mine also in need of ICU. N northiana... now need specialist consultation before admission.

Re: my neps pics for july

Hi Honrui...Beautiful............Lots of nice EP hybrids there...I like your raff clone 99..Mind sharing more of it and how big is the nep??

Re: my neps pics for july

thanks cpnut and ken.

ken, i'll take more pictures and also measurements of the plant when i get back this weekend.

BA, ICU = bagging them up and leaving them in a shady place. for the fussy group of norths and camps, i purposely move them away from the sprinklers so that they get just enough water but not enough to have the media wet like the others. i find that norths and camps (veitchii and albos also) are more fussy about media that is too wet, running water through their roots once in a while seems to be more better for health than having them in a media that is constantly wet. of course when i move them away from the sprinklers, they still get a through drenching when it rains.

it is a fine balance to strike between giving camps and norths just enough water while keeping their media just dry/moist enough. i cheat by using chunks of burnt earth, but i believe that charcoal/wood/fern bark chips should be able to do the trick too. when all else fails in my attempts to grow a particular nep, i would reduce watering and keep the nep drier, just to see if it helps. more often than not, keeping the nep drier usually works.

Re: my neps pics for july

Thanks for the tips hongrui, it'll be very helpful.

Re: my neps pics for july

Better bag my North this evening then. Guess not considered only in A&E.

Re: my neps pics for july

love the ampullaria.. and the carunculata x truncata is very nice mine is still little..

Re: my neps pics for july

ken, i didn't manage to take any pictures of the raff clone 99, but took some measurements for you. the pitcher in the picture is 4" high, and each leaf is about 8" long.
