-- managing my mess of tangled vines is surprisingly time consuming Hehe, I don't know if the hydroponics would be helping you or hindering you with that tangled mess. dvg

This is an intriguing and informative thread you've created, Mikuláš. Not too many Nepenthes growers are using a dedicated automated hydroponic system for their carnivorous jungle vines. How did you come to dial in the 9-3-6 NPK ratio as your fertilizing option? Did it take a few trial and error attempts or did you just go with an orchid fert? Nice work, by the way! dvg

With the NFL's 49th Super Bowl exactly one week from today, the buzz about footballs in the two weeks leading up to this year's game is quite unexpected. I don't think anyone could have predicted the uproar that would follow with regards to this humble football. Through this last week, there have been media reports of low balls, high balls, soft balls, hard balls, old balls, new balls, rubbed balls, scuffed balls, slick balls, sticky balls, tacky balls, low PSI balls, high PSI balls... ...all the way up to my EYEBALLS! There were even references to Seinfeld and "shrinkage", as if to imply that all ball sacks, from genuine cow hide to pig skin, were vulnerable to so-called shrinkage in cold wet conditions. All this talk of alleged cheating can get to be...well, downright deflating. In light of all of that, this is my attempt to balance the bad with something inflating...my N. truncata "reddish leaf" from Wistuba. dvg

Congrats on all the hard work to everyone involved in this project.
It should inject much more information on specific plant/hybrid parentage, for the benefit of both the breeder and the grower , should they chose to take advantage of this system, a system whose time has come.

Hello and welcome to the forum.
Sounds like we might have all been way ahead of the curve if only we had more teachers like that.

Thanks for sharing photos of your plants Keith.
I'm always impressed at the size of your plant collection and how you are able to tend to them.
Is your N. veitchii still catching lizards to dine on?

Thanks DB, Kinda feel sorry for the confounded compound-eyed visitors to this pitcher... ...so trippy looking that it drives them straight to a familiar place with a strobe light, a well used dancer's pole and bartender that doesn't tend to his bar all that carefully, at least with regards to any spilled drinks that overly excited barflies can eagerly sop up. dvg

Exceptional peristome flare! Thanks, Mikulas, the spathulata mother was very generous with her peristome contributions to this genetic soup. dvg
