Nice to see you back Beckham

Some plants took a long time process and deliver. Over the week, these plants came. Some from the country Cz Republic, some from Austrlia.


Heliamphora Heterodoxa - ´Gran Sabana´ an addition plant was sent as a bonus or (Birthday present)


Pinguicula kondoi - A little small, looks like there is 2, I've accidentally broken off the root of 1 plant, I hope they all survive.


DM. Clayton's Red Sunset & DM. Royal Red - These are near adult, I'm quite impress with the size, a first for me (biggest cultivar vft size purcased)


Heliamphora Heterodoxa - ´Gran Sabana´


DM. Clayton's Red Sunset & DM. Royal Red


Heliamphora Heterodoxa - ´Gran Sabana´ 1 top dress in Perlite, other with Live sphagnum




Pinguicula kondoi - Potted up in LFS / Perlite / Egg shell ( I think I follow Grey's addition of the egg shell)


DM. Clayton's Red Sunset & DM. Royal Red - After taking photos, I've accidentally broke of 1 trap of the CRS, so decided to remove a small leafless rhizome to propagate, hope the plant don't die on me!

The last time I had a lot of Nepenthes Gracilis cuttings, some where in soil and water. I was able to remove the ones in water last week after they put out the roots. Potted them up in a big pot with Peat/perlite/sand/coco husk/pine barks/charcoal. Top layered with peat.

The H. Minor is doing well so far. I've been misting whenever I could and topping water into the pitchers. Some of the new pitchers are forming slightly more mature nectar spoons. I think this is not the final form yet. Still not adult.

Red Piranha has rotted to death, a fate vft hardly missed in my area.

Had quite a few updates on Shark teeth, this new plant is doing quite well and putting out alot of tall summer traps.

From earlier week


A couple of days back








Low Giant is putting out some bigger traps too


Dingleys Giant : The biggest of the other dingleys giant


Royal Red a week back

Some updates over the week...

D. Adelae : About 2-3 weeks back, 1day, I fed every leaf of this plant as much as I could. This is the result


Nepenthes Gracilis seedlings


Drosera Capensis Bainskloof Pass: One of the slowest grower under my care IMO, heat issue or 2012 old seeds issue.


Drosera Intermedia EM Pond








Drosera Burmannii Humpty Doo : Getting a nice tint


Drosera Indica Pale pink flower




Drosera Filiformis


Drosera Marston Dragon

At what temperature do you keep your Heliamphora at?

All year 30C +- RH 50-80% randomly under T5HO Perhaps 8 inches away, mist and fill the pitchers as much as I could.

Looking great man!
