Re: TOP 5 Neps or CPs you hate to grow.....
Hi Aaron
Well i checked out the plant you mention "triphyophyllum peltatum" and what i found out is that its not really carnivorous....
Some text from Wikipedia
It is a liana, with a three-stage lifecycle, each with a different shaped leaf, as indicated by its Greek name. In the first stage, T. peltatum has simple lanceolate leaves, and looks nondescript. However, it then additionally develops long, glandular leaves, resembling those of the related Drosophyllum, which capture insects. The plant then enters its adult liana form, with short non-carnivorous leaves on a long twining stem.
So in a way its only carnivorous in one part of its life cycle anyways agree with you doesn't look attrative to me.
