Hello all,

Nice to join this forum, I'm a Neps lover from Indonesia, West Java to be exact. I joined this forum soon after I read David's post by the title of "Misunderstandings about Nepenthes" which is exactly the same thing I experience here in my place.

My name is Sofyan, but you can just call me by my nickname "rajah" unless it will cause confusion with the actual plant haha...

Bandung is the city where I live, its located at about 700 m asl with humid to very humid condition.

I started growing Neps since December 2006, but I have set my interest on ethnobotanical and medicinal plants since 1999, so it's like a smooth expansion to me.

Currently I am growing several species of Neps, almost all of which are lowland and intermediate species (also hybrids) from Borneo Exotics. They all love growing here so far, though most of them are not big (or many) enough to produce seeds yet.

I am hoping that someday when my plants are flowering we can work together by exchanging pollens etc.

Happy growing,
Sofyan
