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

Thanks mate.

Just spray it abit every few days and then use water to flush the residue away

Thanks, one of them is flowering again now

on a windowsill

Yeah I would say it definitely could, it doesn't seem like the most demanding plant and like similar conditions to veitchii

@@Eat-Me-Exotics ok thanks for the answer

Too easy, good luck with them hope they can do well for you.

@@Eat-Me-Exotics Thanks

Haha it's a cafe drinks fridge but a wine fridge would work too

I probably could, but haven't hand much available for a while. The seeds I produced over winter weren't great so we will see what the warmer months bring. I've had alot of messages from over there chancing plants, maybe one day I'll look into trying to set up exports for you guys.

Glad you enjoyed it. Yes I heat the GH all winter, the thermostat is set to 28°c days and 18°c nights but it's be such a cold wet winter that it's more like 22-24°c days and 15°c nights. Next winter I want to upgrade my heating cos the seedling growth rates took a real hit this winter.

Should be good timing, I'm hoping to have alot of my new hybrids available towards the end of the year.

@@Eat-Me-Exotics by any chance do you think you will one day stock edwardsiana ? Because I can’t find it any were

@Aussieaussieoyoy one day yes, not anytime soon unfortunately. They are very hard to come by still in Australia. I make all my plants via seed or cuttings (rather than importing) so it's going to take time for me to get my edwardsianas big enough to flower or cut. But I will have some edwardsiana hybrids available late next year.

🤣

Cheers mate. I'm sure I'll kick it soon.

Unfortunately that's hard lately, it's raining more then it isn't and working around full time work I film when I can.

I've got my fridge set at 10°c but it's plugged into the external thermostat so I can have different temps for day and night

Your in a great spot up there, any lowland species/hybrid would go perfectly outside. Lots of intermediate options too. Look for stuff with maxima, veitchii, truncata, ventricosa, ampullaria or rafflesiana in the mix. I think the only option I have at the moment that would suit well is maxima dark x veitchii, is fast growing and super easy with huge pitchers once it gets going

@Eat-Me-Exotics I bought 2 ventricosa and 2 maxima from Victoria, both ventricosa died within 3 weeks. Both maxima are still growing slowly. One is x rbv the other is x lbv. How much is your maxima dark including postage?

Thats a shame, usually ventricosa are very tough growing. There's a link below to my maxima x veitchii, I've sent this cross up your way before and I know they are going strong, one customer even had it in flower recently. www.eatmeexotics.com.au/shop/p/nepenthes-maxima-dark-x-veitchii-bario-striped

@Eat-Me-Exotics hi, just checking to see if the nepenthes has been sent yet

@alanbentham2836 not yet its on the table to be packed tonight and dropped at the post office tomorrow when I can finish work early. Just saves them getting stuck in the postal system over the weekend. You should have it wednesday/Thursday.

Hahaha I am so lucky where I live to be able to do it. The amount of greenhouses id need would be out of control these days 🤣. Oh this year was a good list, though not amazing seed sets from most but there was edwardsiana, trusmadinesis, veitchii M, lowii x jacquilineae, platychila, peltata x platychila and a few others. We will see how they go in the next month hopefully I get good germination rates.

@@Eat-Me-Exotics You rocks mate :)

Cheers mate. Can't wait to start seeing big mature pitchers of my breeding in everyone's collections

Hahaha yeah sorry, been being sick, flat out and planning a wedding it's been hard to find the time lol.

@@Lilly_At that's awesome, I'm so glad I could help. If you have other questions I'd be more then happy to try answer them for you.
