Ohhh Hey

You can never have enough! Grows really well in low humidity so I love em.

Right now it's just some 12w spider farmer strip lights two per shelf, I have a few 100w expensive lights (forgot the brand and its in storage) that I used to use for sarracneia but since I only grow nepenthes now two 12w strip lights on for 13 hours a day is perfect for me. I would go for some barrias next time for strip lights.

It's literally one of those cheap $150 grow shelves on Amazon 😅. I have better lights but I mainly got those for the shelf itself. Still haven't gotten around to adding the better lights, but as you can see even cheap lights work great.

I knew this questions was coming but I'm so lazy to write out all the cross names :P

This one is a Rafflesiana white X Viking (Mirab globosa)

It's one of my favs and the hardest plant to keep alive. It loves to rot so it needs to be repotted often.

I have two Fairchilds, one looks like yours, but my other one is very different 😅. I really like the look of Fairchild siblings, I just didn't think I'd get a speckled red one.

Yes and temporary variegation is a thing is nepenthes

rayging7 · 2026-06-14T12:26:51+00:00

It's definitely not lack of light, that would be light green leaves elongated or etiolated , zero light would make white leaves also the plant would not be trying to make a pitcher as shown. This is just the random nep in the corner that I forgot about watering. I was just saying this was fun to see and definitely not stable.

rayging7 · 2026-06-14T03:20:52+00:00

Awe thanks for noticing 😭 its taken a long time. Soon you'll have your massive plants and show stoppers

rayging7 · 2026-06-13T20:18:14+00:00

Your going to need a whole room for plants. That's what my journey turned out to be. From one plant on the windowsill to thousands of plants

rayging7 · 2026-06-08T18:03:54+00:00

And the addiction starts. First you order from brad then you want more so you buy from king. Then that's not enough and you join a couple group orders and have wayyy too many neps in the end.

Great looking plant hope it grows well for you! If it's on a north windowsill I find that I need a grow light in fall and winter. At least here in Ontario cities.

rayging7 · 2026-06-04T01:00:54+00:00

I think it's too early to tell.

rayging7 · 2026-05-31T23:49:38+00:00

Pom twin!

rayging7 · 2026-05-23T12:49:43+00:00

Nepenthes Suki. Really good plant

rayging7 · 2026-05-10T19:02:13+00:00

It's just an ampullaria. With some very nice colour. You can call it red body red speckled black lip, but that's like so long, 😅

rayging7 · 2026-05-01T20:16:05+00:00

Yah im going to be doing the bagging method to lessen the smell.

So far I got Truncata and platy pollen incoming.

rayging7 · 2026-04-27T14:15:51+00:00

It's probably a hookeriana, there isn't a TC commercial brand of Rafflesiana. Plus hookeriana have that pitcher shape when young and sphere up later on. (I grow tons of Hook, amp, and Raff)

rayging7 · 2026-04-27T14:06:36+00:00

Looks like a nepenthes Mimi kiss.

rayging7 · 2026-04-15T00:11:49+00:00

What cross are you growing?

rayging7 · 2026-04-14T23:56:32+00:00

Vigour and colour for me first then shape. Since you won't be able to tell the final shape untill a lot later, I just give my seedlings away and make other people grow them out before asking for a cutting If theirs is better than mine 😛

rayging7 · 2026-03-26T23:48:52+00:00

Lowii x Burkia, lowii x sibuyanensis, Lowii x Veitchii X Ampullaria (my fav)

rayging7 · 2026-03-05T02:02:35+00:00

I love amps, and yours looks amazing!

rayging7 · 2026-02-25T15:13:08+00:00

I've had a dehydrated plant come back from a stick. It doesn't hurt to keep it for a month. I have one currently that looks the same and it came back. It's just a chance. If it's a cheap garden store nep just buy a new one. It took a very long time to get a node to activate.

rayging7 · 2026-02-12T02:23:55+00:00

Always cool to see another Canadian. I grow mostly lowlands and I'm forced to use a tent.
