Looks good! If you want to fertilize I've had great results using maxsea and coffee on my amp. I am now trying osmocote, I'll let you know how that works out.

Mmmm bical...

Also, I think N. "Viking" is now classified as N. mirabilis var. globosa.

Yes you are correct Ben. I have several little globosa seedlings here which will hopefully produce some nice pitchers in the future.

I doubt you will have any trouble with those plants. They'd probably even do fine outside the terrarium as long as your humidity isn't too low. Keep an eye on the ampullaria though as it is one of the most light-sensitive Nepenthes species.

Yes the plant technically is N. mirabilis var. globosa. However, I still like the name N. Viking, and it is putting on its first pitchers..will update a photo when they look good...Thanks

It's an interesting variety for sure. It's also the only one I'm aware of that has a grade scale for pitchers: http://www.neofarmthailand.com/index.ph ... 13&Ntype=6

I'm lucky enough to have some seedlings produced from a cross of two grade A plants so I have high hopes for them.
