This is an N. truncata ‘Giant’ x lowii ‘Mt. Murud’ that was just released here in Australia by Exotica Plants. It was purchased from Flora Quest and is still in stock as I post this.

We’re expecting it to be a bit different than the famous lowii x truncata, less Lowii influence and probably a bit more size. The Mt. Murud locality has near-black pitchers with massive lid bristles, so this should be an interesting hybrid.

I’ve had this specimen for a few years and never had an official ID, after some searching I decided it looks like a maxima x veitchii. However, this new growth is massive, almost a meter across. I’m unsure if this hybrid can get this big, because mine sure hasn’t before

The pitchers are about 18-22cm, which sounds about right.
Thanks!

There are very few places to buy Nepenthes in Australia, and this website claims to be a future EP distributor and their stock is impressive.

However, I’ve never heard of them, they have very little online presence, and they use AI images on their page and I believe in their Nepenthes descriptions too.

Has anyone bought from them before? I have concerns that they may not be legit.

Just put these 2 Neps about 40cm under a 10w Sansi LED light with a reflector dome.

I don’t have a PPFD sensor, so I was wondering if you think this looks fine on a glance?

Can anybody diagnose what’s wrong with my hamata hybrid? It gets nights down to 14 degrees, days at 24. Humidity around 60%. I got it a few months ago, it had initial transplant shock but seemed to do fine. Now it’s just slowly deteriorating

Thank you

Self explanatory, do you think this little greenhouse is too cramped? I’ve put some of my more valuable seedlings in here (alisaputrana, veitchii bario, Attenboroughii hybrids, etc) and don’t want to risk anything.

I’ve never grown Nepenthes inside so I don’t know if they are effected negatively by being squashed in

Thanks!

I’ve been struggling to continue with this project for awhile as I’m not sure if it is visually appealing. I aimed to include lots of minute detail and areas that lend themselves towards storytelling rather than appearance on a map.

Now I’m just deciding if it’s worth finishing or not, as if it does not look good, no amount of storytelling capability will render it a success to me.

Your input would be greatly appreciated

These two corms are both flowering size and they have much larger growth tips than all my other plants this time of the year (third pic for reference of what the rest look like)

Could these be blooms? The first plant is a borneensis x variabilis (10 years old, 20cm) and the second one is a titanum x cv John Tan x lambii (5 years old, 10.5cm)

This is my Am. bulbifer. it’s 9.5cm (3.7 inches) and 300 grams. I’m wondering what pot size you would recommend for this spring?

Pseudohydrosme gabunensis in the background for bragging rights >:)

Hey

Just got this (variabilis DGS x titanum)
x (titanum x cv John Tan), 16 cm and a bit over 2kg.

I live in the central coast in Australia and the nights get down to 10-5 degrees at their coldest, so I need to heat this big boy.

What are your preferred ways to keep pots warm?

Looking at two variegated globosa x ampullarias, which one do you prefer? One is higher variegation, but is smaller and has less pitchers. The other is the opposite
