I just wanted to post a quick photo of a 16 month old seed grown Nepenthes ampullaria. I am still surprised when Nepenthes seedlings thrive and grow in the Florida heat and humidity. This plant is in a 6"or 15 cm pot (and needs a larger one) grown in long fibered Sphagnum.  Not all of the seedlings have grown this fast, but Brian has larger plants than I do! Take care, Steven Stewart |

Why would you not expect lowland Nepenthes seedlings to thrive in our heat?

Hello Manny! I hope all is well with you! Why would you not expect lowland Nepenthes seedlings to thrive in our heat? My point exactly! I was simply pointing out this fact to the group. I first grew Nepenthes in Colorado, and most of the species and hybrids available at the time were all lowland, except Clide Brambletts N. khasiana seed! ;D But that was another century.  As far as I knew at the time all Nepenthes species probably needed 10-20+ years minimum to achieve flowering size Take care, Steven Stewart |
