Need info about company

[Myles]

Hello, I want to order from CP jungle and I am a bit skeptical about the legitimacy of the place. I was hoping someone on here could give me some insight. I've always payed with credit card on nurseries' secure sites. The payment is directed as follows:

If you are paying by paypal, simply send a payment to my email address: [e-mail]

I appreciate the help, I just dont want to end up out 100 bucks and never hear back from them.

Both Michael and his shop have a good reputation to the best of my information.
The information he provides on his website is also very good.

[Myles]

thank you very much Marcel, the site was indeed full of good information. It was just the setup of the payment that made me want to ask. cheers

I am in the process of purchasing from CP Jungle and have sent a few emails without any replies. Can anyone who's ordered from CP tell me are the plants and cuttings mailed potted or bare rooted? I would like to be ready when the plants arrive if they are bare rooted.

[peterhewitt]

Most company's send Bare root, as this reduces damage.

[Myles]

They do ship all their neps bare root. I have sent and recieved multiple emails from them within two business days which is as good as I could hope for. Did you email them friday? I'm surprised to hear you aren't getting a response.

Finally got response and feel very confident about CPJungle. Michael was very helpful and informative. I look forward to many purchases from him.

[Myles]

glad to hear it joel! May I ask what you ordered?
I ordered three neps from him:
N. burbidgeae from Pig Hill
N. northiana
N. burkei

I can't wait to get them settled in amungst my others

I ordered N. sibuyanensis x truncata, and N. sibuyanensis x (northiana x veitchii) for now. I have a few I picked for sniping. I'm going for any that produce large pitchers...like truncata and it's hybrids. I too am looking forward to their arrival. I can finally start the hobby I've always wanted. I have a cactus collection but that's second to nepenthes. I have a temporary setup for now but plan on investing on a greenhouse come December or January. That's when I treat myself every year. Nowxwith the weather starting to get cooler in the night, I'm trying to figure out something for in the house as far as proper lighting until I get the outdoor greenhouse.

I love t5 flouros for indoor plant lighting.... they have a high output thats way brighter then t8s or t12s but dont get as hot as HID lights. I use 4 2 ft bulbs for my collection. Works great.

[joel143]

Can you get these lights from any depot store such as Lowes? I have a temporary greenhouse set up, basically a covered 5 shelf stand. With the cooler temperatures I'm looking to fix something up for lighting. How would you control the heat from the lights and keep the humidity up? I understand for a larger greenhouse set up I wouldn't have a problem but with a small set up like what I have now trying to keep the heat down from the lights and the humidity high I'm alittle lost.

my terrarium in its location stay about 85 all day when lights are on and about 65-75 at night. I bought the reflctors individually www.plantlightinghydroponics.com/sun-blaze-2ft-t5-fluorescent-strip-light-reflector-p-2071.html

you could get them at home depot but these types are very water resistant which i find very useful since the lights are in the contained area. For the four lights, the space inside is 36X24X24 inches so depending on your outside room temp and the volume of the space itd affect the temp around the plants differently.
