Wow Jens, I just love your N. vogelii.
The N. lowii Gunung Mulu and that big N. hamata are looking just perfect!

Fantastic plants Jens ! The villosa looks promising. How large is it? The boschiana is thriving. Glad you're taking good care of this one. Keep posting, François.

as said elsewhere.......I just can never ever tire of seeing your pics Jens. Picture perfect composition, picture perfect specimens. Your macrophylla, lowii and villosa are astounding. THat hamata is also insanely cute.

This has got to be the most sought after of collections! AND everything is growing so well. Glad to see everything growing to perfection. I find it interesting that you grow your macrophylla in a hanging basket, most of my things that are gown in a hanging basket are more commercial varieties like Ventrata and Miranda! But well grown none-the-less! That green house looks small all of a sudden with all this burst of plants. Nice growing!

Jens, I would like to know what sort of greenhouse modifications you are making to endure the cold temperatures of winter. I recall seeing snow everywhere. Other than the inevitable heating, is there any greenhouse structural or add-on enhancements you will be using/experimenting with this winter? I have heard people do interesting projects like store drums of hot water in the greenhouse, use solar/black panels to capture heat, etc. Would heat from just a simple candle (like multiple fat candles in glass chimneys, etc.) add any heat/warmth to the greenhouse, especially at night?
Just thinking what you have to endure to keep your collection safe during the winter.

MIchael yeah i had planed some nice projects for the greenhouse but i was so busy during the summer with my Job/family and my little TC business that i didnt had the time to build the things i wanted. We had now our first freezing nights with 28F. I just installed a 2KW greenhouse heater and next week i will put some bubble wrap on the greenhouse. before i installed the heater my plants had for several nights just around 30F As you wrote Sun is a very good way to heat a greenhouse but not for me. We have in Sweden no Sun(just arround 2-4 hours sunset) in the Winter, so there is no Sun to catch I have now also a big Water drum in the greenhouse to store the heat a little bit under the nights... /Jens

It's a shame that there wasn't a way that heat from household appliances (like refrigerators, washers/dryers, etc. couldn't be harnessed and piped out to a greenhouse. This way heat from things that run 24/hours a day would automatically feed the heat cycle needed to warm a room. I see this every time the air conditioner cools a room partly because of track lights and refrigerator heat, etc.
