When I first started growing Nepenthes I made my share of mistakes. I would select a plant based on the color or shape of the pitcher, or any other characteristics that I thought looked cool. This was a very expensive learning experience. I was so naive that I would just buy them and not do enough research to figure out if I could give them the optimal conditions for that particular species. So when I see your other posts about the "orange" plants that you have added to your collection I just thought I would share with you what I have learned along the way and possibly save you some $$$ by making the same mistake. Now I grow plants that I can grow well in the conditions that are in my grow room. Here's my "orange". :D

Thanks for all the support. I did buy a couple of new nepenthes and did my research on the ones that can be researched that is.
