Received with healthy plants...

[alpiner]

Spent 2-3hrs on potting neps and prep Sarra seeds for stratification. Labels of all neps except N.Syurga drops off, so doing my best to id some of them. Let me know if I mis-id some of them.

My N.Syurga.

First and easiest to id of all, N. burbidgeae × edwardsiana. Unfortunately mine is not HUGE as shown by Allen. Looks like I'm not one of his fav customer. Nevertheless, it's my favorite neps right now. The influences of edwardsiana to peristome is remarkable.


This looks like veitchii pink, with a yamseng pitcher.

I think this is madagascariensis.

With all these id, the remaining should be Konak.

[jimmy0123]

Well at least you have one young pitcher for N. burbidgeae × edwardsiana as mine just have one brownish pitcher. I think you id madagascariensis is correct as mine also like this. You use peat moss + perlite?

[alpiner]

I'm just joking on fav customer part. Just happy to hv received the plants. You're right on peat moss, I ran out of material for media. Only able to go to Mr Lim's place this weekend. I do combine peat moss+perlite+charcoal+some coco peat. N.Syurga with more perlite+charcoal as compared with peat moss, follow by BurxEd, then veitchii, Konak, madagas.
My "Veitchii" and "Konak" doesn't looks like the one in the web. Maybe Allen can help to confirm.

[jimmy0123]

Allen must have randomly chosen for us and i not complaining as all the plant were in good condition. Hmm wonder how he choose for us. Just need to be patient for them to grow and develop and once mature i think it will turn out to be the likes of the one you saw from web.

alpiner, congratulations for the plants that you had received, you had id them correctly, about the N.burbidgee x edwardsiana, i pick them out ramdomly, as the plants were late and arrive around 3.30pm, some i had label with some sticker with it, but some i just label them on the plastic, as they are quite obvious

jimmy, good to hear that you had received healthy plants, if you curious on how i select the plants, i wont mind share them with you
as i received the plants, i separate them according to name/physical appearance and just simply grab a plants according to the orders, as bigger plants tends to be on top of the plants, and coincidentally,i pack the orders starting from the top to the bottom one

[cbkhoon]

next time make sure u place your order earlier , then you order will be at the top section and you have higher chance to get "bigger" plant.. Am I right?
