During the year end, the sun doesn't shine into my growing area at all. About half of my Neps slow down in growth and some stop producing pitchers. I also have to resort to artificial lighting for my sundews.

However, the higher humidity, lower temperatures and even low light seem to be liked by some species.

D. schizandra


N. northiana (the one on the left is the lastest pitcher at 3.5", the one on the right is older)


N. albomarginata (they never stopped producing pitchers for me year round except after flowering)


From the left: N. rafflesiana 'nivea', N. (clipeata x eymae) x clipeata (below it), N.x 'Lebih' and N. alata


N. hamata (these two pitchers are formed in balcony conditions 25C-30C, however the last week of hot weather in the afternoon already sent the plant into producing a smaller leaf )

Nice pictures....I like them! Wow.....you have hamata???? How much was it?

Cheers

[Cindy]

It cost me an arm and a leg...too much...

[edwardyeeks]

Where did you get your hamata from? BE? Anyways, the plant was always expensive.........but I still want one.

Cheers

[Cindy]

I doubt you are willing to pay so much...BE's hamata seedling is USD$120.

Fauzi told me hamata is RM 550 for a weeny plant, of course I don't wanna pay......bt I shall wait till the time comes when hamata, jamban and a few others rare neps get cheaper.

Cheers

Cindy, you are getting more and more creative with your picture frames. So colourful and interesting just like you.

You're D. schizandra look so contented in it's growing conditions. Sigh... too bad I just can't get them to grow well for me and I've already killed a few.

No matter how your growing condition change, you still have some very nice looking plants. Thanks for sharing.

Hi David,
That is thanks to Picasa 3. I had loads of fun yesterday playing with the collage feature. The D. schizandra is new. The last one I had grew from 3" to 6" and when the heat wave came, it collapsed to nothing. I'll start finding a cool place for them next April when the weather heats up.

cpnut,
Glad you like the pics.
