Nepenthes Highland Nurseries @ Borneo Exotics Part 2

On our visit at Borneo Exotics 2004 it was a real honour for us to be invited to an event of the Colombo Yacht Club by Rob and Diana. From there we switch back to the highland nurseries near Nuwara Eliya, where Robert Cantley presents several new discovered Nepenthes species. Part 3 of this film will follow soon ...

Very interesting video! Thanks for uploading it

How old is the Nepenthes lowii with upper pitchers? and the Nepenthes villosa?

[shartmeyer]

@oidualclaudi0 Sorry, I don't know how old these Neps are, estimated 4-5 years.

My nepenthes(highland) was delivered with no water in the pitcher but can I just give waters like poland spring to it? I'm thinking on putting water in it half way but is that too much?

[shartmeyer]

@devilonthebay Add 1/4 volume of de-ionized or destilled water. However, also tapwater will work.

Unbelievable. Do you now have a name for the new species of 2:12? Or is it already known?

I have just bought some seeds for Nepenthes Lowii. I heard they would only grow very slow. Is it exception that they produce their first upper pitcher after 80 Years or is it normal? Because I want to see her producing one.

[shartmeyer]

@lexander5 Robert Cantley should know the name. Regarding the N. lowii you should be patient, after about 10 years I am now waiting for the first upper pitcher of my Lowii to appear with one of the next leaf-generations. 80 years is actually a little too pessimistic.

@shartmeyer Thanks for the info!

Can someone help me?

I want to make a simple highland greenhouse, since indoors is no more option(WAY too many CPs!). Humidity will be fine, but I'm having trouble with finding a good spot for lighting... Also, what type of glass is recommanded for the greenhouse? (I live in Belgium.)

[lexander5]

Okay. Thanks. Just one question. I have just put them into a pot of soil (specially made for carnivorous plants) and want to know how long they take to germinate. Do you know this?

[tehloserisyou]

Even though i am an enthusiast of the genus i can hardly pronounce half of them and you guys can do it with ease
