Very nice. You've done a fine job. Have you been able to entice any of your friends to try a Nep?

to hikenyura yes we have had frost, but its been a long while. I normally keep an eye on the weather report so I know when frosts come, so my nepenthes just joins my mother's plant that she brings in for the winter. Sadly, most of my friends either think I'm a) crazy or b) they say they have no skill growing a weed let alone one of these plants.  |

It would be interesting if my university security come in and I say.. "Hmm...I am growing some plants that eat insects." lol! and show them a VFT's shutting its trap ... they'll probably be fascinated as well. lol!! lol!...how do u answer this: "Is that pot you are growing there, Sir?" ... "Nope! Its called a nepenthes ramispina" ;D |

In response to the remark about growing nepenthes outside. At the moment ALL of my nepenthes are growing outside all but one get half day full sun and half day partial, the other one sits in full sun all day along with some sundews and sarracenia. It's really the best way to grow them if your climate allows it. Don't let them experience frosts though. I lost a few when we had a frost last winter (that pretty much never happens here but it did last winter).
