Nice! I also have a sarracenia minor, but it's a minor okie giant clone F. Did you get yours from mike wang?

I did get that clone from Mike Wang. Actually, many of my Sarracenia have come from him and they are always top quality.

Here are some new photos, many of them are of new plants that I received, so I cannot take credit for their growth. The photos of those was mainly to document a starting point for growth. I have also reorganized my grow rack since I have been running out of space there. There is one more open shelf that I may add another light to, but I am starting to think it is time for a greenhouse .

Those cephs are looking awesome! What's humidity like in that room?

The room stays between 60-70%, except in the winter it drops to 30% or lower (which I will be getting a humidifier for). Under the T5HO's the humidity drops to roughly 50%.

First new pitcher that recently opened under my care.

This is the best I could do to capture the gold hairs on this Heliamphora. It looks much better in person.

I'm always amazed at how gorgeous your plants look. Thanks for sharing those photos!

As per usual, your plants look fantastic! The D. hartmeyerorum seeds that I was talking about a few months ago have become available - feel free to shoot me a PM if you're still interested.

such beautiful plants! The heli is so red.

I had most of the plants out of the terrarium for fertilizing and applying some great white mycorrhizae to the media, so I took the opportunity to get some photos. All of the plants I got from Wistuba have been growing well and many have new, fully opened pitchers.

The largest pitcher was not grown under my care, so the credit goes to jcal for that one. The new growth is under my care.

The Flytrap Store heli keeps getting better and better with age. The coloration on it is rather nice as well.

Gorgeous! Thanks for posting

Stunning as usual! It's wonderful to see such a diverse collection of plants grown so well.

BTW, did you happen to get any germination from those N. ventricosa seeds yet?

Thank you!

Many of the N. ventricosa seeds have germinated, around 40 of them so far. Did you sow any from the same batch? Surprisingly, I haven't had any germination from the D. hartmeyerorum though. How long did those take for you?

Great to hear that the N. ventricosa have sprouted! I did indeed sow the rest of the seeds from that batch and I'm also getting great germination as well - looks like we'll both have enough N. ventricosa to last us quite a while.

The first batch of D. hartmeyeroum I sowed took 10 days to sprout with temperatures constantly around ~80-90F. However, I did have stragglers popping up weeks/months after I noticed initial germination. I just sowed the second batch (where your seeds came from) today, so I'll see if anything comes up from those as well. Strange that you haven't gotten anything yet...perhaps they germinate quickest with very high temperatures?

That is great! Yeah, it will be nice to grow them out though. It'll be interesting to see what comes from them from either you or I.

That would be something interesting to test out. Mine are always close to 100% humidity, and around 82F during the day, but the temperature drops to the mid to high 60's at night when the lights shut off (16 hours on). I'll keep an eye on them and see what happens.
