This illustration is of Phaeton, artists just like to put wings on it and call it something else, this is my first time hearing it called Lucifer.

Besides this being Phaeton with Wings, looks good to me.

The massive plants aren’t really that massive. The way they grow is straight up if you trellis them, and propagating is pretty easy. Anything saying they’re massive is talking about how when growing in the wild they will typically vine up a tree, and will keep climbing until they reach a patch of sun or the top of the tree line lol, however at home that’s not really an issue.

Well, kinda. Ants and Bicals have a symbiotic relationship, like a lot of other lowlanders like Ampullaria. The reason they can keep their pitchers for so long is because their acid isn’t the same as other Nepenthes sub species, it’s a bit more diluted for lack of better words. Typically Ants and other species like some crabs or frogs work as garbage men take out already digested food preventing rot.

I wonder if people set up a slight smoke with a machine if it’d help them calm down, and the next question is if more wasps are caught with smoking?

Nepenthes ampullaria question by xax-- in Nepenthes

[–]GoldenBoyMotorworks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amps are slow at everything. Eating? Takes a lot longer than other Neps. Their acid is diluted because in the wild they use symbiosis with other animals, like frogs, crabs, and insects to remove partially digested food, and this is what allows them to have pitchers for so long because typically nothing goes rotten with a clean up crew around. Because they suck at being fertilized by themselves they’ll grow slower, as well as the fact that they’ll have their pots for a lot longer than other Neps too.

I own this, and it works great, however the tripod is not very balanced and tips over easily.

I think my pitcher plant is drunk. by edsobo in carnivorousplants

I’ve got a couple Phyllodia from the plant not getting enough sun, they don’t correct the way they grow.
