I do use pencil (ex carpenter so it's a building pencil) to date tags or put notes on. My hand writing is so shocking though that I prefer printed tags, plus I've produced almost 350 tags in the past few days n definitely didn't want to hand write them all 🤣

Hey mate, I'm on the northern beaches. My plants have seen winds to 100km/h, torrential rain, hail and temps from 5° to 45°. They can be alot tougher then people think, especially if you pick your plants carefully. For outdoors in sydney seems hybrids with truncata, veitchii and ventricosa are very well suited and tough enough to survive the elements

I've only recently started measuring it but so far it's about 720kw per month, the main contributors being cooling at the moment and heating in winter

I aim for about once a month, it's all about figuring out the amounts that work for you in your set up. I'm fighting alot of moss and algae due to my levels which is a pain.

Thanks mate. Took me a few years to get it all done.

Thanks mate, but there is definitely better collections out there that I'm jealous of 🤣. As for growing outside I'm lucky where I live the conditions for most of the year are great for nepenthes. They all hate mid winter and some dislike mid summer as well though. Conditions are usually over 60% humidity and temperatures ranging from 5°c to 45°c

@Eat-Me-Exotics Yea I get that😂 would a N.Bicalcarata work outside in Florida??

I'm not too sure, I've heard bical is pretty picky but I've never tried it. Could do well though, you guys are pretty hot n humid all year round aren't you?

@@Eat-Me-Exotics yes we are hot and humid except when winter comes, we get up to 40°F

@BaRoNvOnToOtS yeah k, that's way too cold for bical. Maybe you could bring it in for winter though they do get big

It's 4x2.5m and 2.5m tall in the middle. Definitely a great size for a moderate collection

Hahaha sorry yo tell you but there is no cure for the virus, the only relief comes from buying more plantz

Yeah because they are so rare in cultivation still they are expensive, those are probably only the 3rd or 4th time they have been available here in Australia.

That sounds like a great set up, you'll want to make sure the Cephs get good air circulation and some shade and they should be fine. Sarracenia need alot more light then neps and lower humidity so might be hard to combine them in the same GH

How big is the plant? Unfortunately there is a few clones under the BE3734 code that aren't striped so it isn't a guarantee

@ It’s a medium sized plant. I’m sending it back to the supplier because the picture of this plant on their website has stripes. I told them that’s the whole reason why I bought it. I think that’s false advertising.

@DeadlyPlants2024 I understand where your coming from, unfortunately it's hard from the suppliers side as well as 95% of photos of it show stripes and BE sells it as a striped veitchii. The only reason I know there is some gold peristome ones is some mates got them after seeing mine

@@Eat-Me-Exotics Right. I suppose in the future, if I’m thinking of buying a plant, I’ll call the supplier first to make sure the plant I want to buy is the same plant I’m looking at.

They are marshydro ts1000s, I use alot of them because they are dimmable so it gives you more control

Fantastic to here, it's such a great hybrid

I completely agree about that, lots of nepenthes will do just fine with outdoor conditions even if they don't love the depths of winter

I've heard edwardsiana actually does quite well in intermediate conditions but I haven't tried it my self.

I always want to make sure plants arrive in the beat condition possible. It takes a while, once you add up the shipping, box and packing supplies there's only a couple of dollars ontop to cover some time.

I'm running it at 22°c days and 12° nights, there is abit of variation between shelves though. I haven't actually measured the light levels in there TBH, but usually I aim for about 150-250 ppfd

Cheers mate, the organisation comes from working in such a small amount of space lol. I'm actually planning to do a set up video that will go through everything I have in place for controls etc. But in short for cooling I have 2 thermostats, the first turns on an exhaust fan to draw hot air out from the Ridge space when it gets 1°c above my set temps and then the second controls an air-conditioner that will come on when it hits 2° above the set temps Definitely needs heating in winter, I just have a ceramic fan heater plugged into a thermostat to keep it at my set temps

Haha cheers mate.

Hey mate sorry I don't sell seeds, I usually only make what I need for my own usem

Thank you

Cheers mate

Sorry for the slow reply, I have them in my greenhouse so they have average intermediate temps with a night drop just like the rest of my plants. But for germination it's probably not as important

Haha cheers, yeah it's been a huge month. More has been done since too 😅. Still trying to fill it with nep seedlings though, I now have space for 1020 seedlings

Thank you! 🤗

Cheers mate, lowii x veitchii has become a fantastic breeder so excited about all the hybrids I've got coming from it.

I like constancy, with out the heat mat some days it wouldn't get much above 15°c so it's just there to give alittle boost when needed.

@@Eat-Me-Exotics gotcha, just curious!

Thank you!! 😁

Thanks, joys of an over crowded greenhouse is if it's not organised it gets out of control so fast 🤣

Cheers mate, I love veitchiis definitely up there with a favourite species

Cheers mate, glad your enjoying them.

Cheers. All good I only made the last one, I was away for a while anyway.

Cheers mate, ironically both my rajah are around the same age. Just shows the difference in growth rates plant to plant. As for the most woody pitchers I feel like that would be lowii from what I've seen. Those temps sounds great for lowii, how are you keeping those temps?

@@Eat-Me-Exotics so basically they are kept in this thing called a bio orb air and it sorts out the humidity and lightning but for temp I have put into there a little swamp cooler and when it’s hot I cover the thing up with a bunch of towels to keep sun light from heating it up and I put some ice blocks in it for a night drop, and also to see the temp I got a small hydro and temperature meter

Wow alot to it but sounds like a great system you have going there.

@@Eat-Me-Exotics thanks

Thanks mate.

Hahaha yeah tell me about it. Second greenhouse is higher on the list atm.

Yep I'm fully aware, second greenhouse will go in shortly might have to lean towards highland conditions

Some of these highland species are trickier, but there is heaps of intermediate nepenthes that are alot easier to care for.

Awesome, can't wait to see it all set up.

@@Eat-Me-Exotics thank you

Glad to hear you found it helpful, definitely not one of the easier to grow species.

geez ,thats very bold

If your getting good results stick with what your doing, it's all a matter of figuring out what works in your conditions. The fert schedule sounds good too.

I use it as is at 3%

Yeah I'm very luck with where I live, though so far this spring is testing them it's been super dry and low humidity so we will see how things fair. I'm hoping the winds change in summer bring some more humidity in off the ocean
