Nepenthes thorelii paper

[marcellocatalano]

Maybe it's already extinct! Someone in an other forum said that the only plant in cultivation right now could be in Singapore, because the 2 plants growing in Vietnam died. Tell your friend, the seller, to NOT collect WHOLE plants in the wild, but just seeds and cuttings. These will take a bit more to grow, but the plants in the wild will survive, the plants in cultivation will be much more, and in the long term he will make MORE money and the plants in the wild will survive. Don't buy plants with VERY large roots like yours, they are obviously very old plants, taken out of the soil in the wild and put in a pot. All lowland Nepenthes species in your Country are in the verge of extinction because of human development (cities and plantations) and because people collect whole plants (not just cuttings and seeds)to sell them to unaware growers.
