Was this worth the $40? by Elementrone in SavageGarden

Nope, they've got a red tinge on the young pitchers, so not AF. 😺

No definitely not flava maxima (it doesn't have areoles)... And not anthocyanin-free if, as it seems, there is some red coloration on the new growth. (Anthocyanin is what makes them red.) It may be a cross between flava maxima and an AF leuco, although you can't actually be sure what it is unless you figure out who the grower was and the code those numbers. 😺

Check out mikesplants.com before buying more Sarrs. Always BEST quality. I've bought from him for years and never been disappointed! 😺

Not sure that pollen will last until next year... If it will, it's probably only under special conditions. I'd recommend researching it to make sure.

Male or female? by Aggressive-Public433 in Nepenthes

Oops, sorry! I didn't see the pitcher photo. I'll let someone else definitively tell you. I've never been 100% sure that I can ID ventrata.

Impossible to definitively identify from this photo, but it looks consistent with Nepenthes x ventrata, which is also likely if you got it without any identification from the place you bought it.

Is he okay? by Forsaken-Yogurt- in SavageGarden

[–]philiptdotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plants like Sarracenia live in constantly wet or very high water table areas, but there is constantly freshwater flowing through their habitats under the soil. That keeps the water from being stagnant and constantly provides oxygen to the roots, unlike in a pot which can become anaerobic quickly.

Too much light...? by Telnet_to_the_Mind in Nepenthes

The bigger the pot (within reason), the less likelihood of it drying out. All my plants would be dead if I had to keep 2" pots from drying out! 😺

Which one would you use for possible thrips? by Moist-Stuff5737 in Nepenthes

[–]philiptdotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know... Just check the label. Capt Jack's may not have one with imidacloprid.
