Also the tc plants you are getting are very small. About 2 in tall at best. It takes 3-4 years before they produce adult pitchers.

It is better to pay A$20-$30 for plants from Exotica Plants or Triffid Park OR US$20-20 from BE. Their plants are bigger.

If there's a group purchase from Triffid Park, I'm going to buy a big cobra.

Choong, I just want to clarify with you... My understadning is that we do not need phytosanitary certificates if we are bringing tissue culture flask of plants into Malaysia as the plants and agar in the flask are sterile.

If this is so, each plant will only cost AU$0.80 for 60 plants (6 flask).

David,

That is my understanding too. But all reputable foreign nursery goes by the book. They insist on doing the phytosanitary certification because some importing countries (like Australia and US) are very strict and impose hefty fine on the importers. So if you have friends going to Australia, you can buy off from Andre Cleghorn, and have you friends bring them back.

But beware that Andre Cleghorn don't sell off the shelf. He needs a few weeks to prepare and grow the tcs in the flasks.
