Very excited that we finally have a Malaysian forum for CPs. Love plants, among other things. Owned my first CP when I was 12, a N. gracilis. Rotted its pitchers with moths and fertilised it to death in the end Been more informed since then, thanks to forums, and have grown nepenthes ampullaria, rafflesiana, alata and albomarginata. As I'm away most of the year, currently only have two 3 year old albomarginata in the shadehouse, a few young ones in a terrarium with an un-id'ed mirabilis suspect, and a bicalcarata in a tissue culture vial In Sydney, I grow a windowsill of Sarracenias, 2 colour variants of VFT and a Drosera spathulata. They are low maintenence, zero fuss plants over there.

Aside from CPs, I'm also into orchids, aroids and planted tanks, which is how I found this forum via MAC. A big thanks to Issac! Mosses and Cryptocorynes are my fav, but anything aquatic drives me crazy too.

Kudos to the individuals who set up this forum. More awareness and knowledge is the key to conservation. Thanks a lot!
