Oh BTW he has a great deal on Hamatas, two different clone strains for 45 or 50 euro I think... (going by memory)
or another package deal of 3 with one being a Hamata....
dig around their webpage... the prices are actually cheaper then most domestic sources

yeah....but once again the prob is with the entire deal of phyto prices and all other headaches with importing. I will do it...I will definately be their customer, but not for a while.. Atleast not till next summer. My enclousure is completely FULL. I have no room anymore as some plants are already relegated to low lighting. I want to improve my conditions before getting any more. I might probably go with making a highland terrarium in the future.

You may want to check with them on the phyto, in the states they use an import middleman so no phyto charges required... I paid about 25 euro I think for shipping and handling... and that was it
with the plants being around 15 euro each, it was still cheaper then ebay by a country mile... plus you are assured of pedigree and origin...

Well...considering a single nep to be around 30 euro + 25 euro for shipping... that would be 75$ CDN without considering any other charges. Its not too bad espeically if u can get more at once. Thats why I think its important to wait and rather get more plants than just one at a time. I will however try to contact andreas and find out if he has any nep seeds though. thanks B. V

yep, I do the same... the 25 is a flat rate, our dollar isnt worth doo doo anymore or I would have got more LOL
I can remember buying a candy baror something in London, paying with a 5USD and getting back 5+change CDN.... not anymore LOL

lmao! lol! that must be quite a while ago. lol! the canadian dollar is going up...so that means now I am thinking of getting many things from US as the prices are cheaper. lol! I recently wanted this book. In chapters, behind the cover it was 30$ US and 48$ CDN. lol! figure it out. But the irony is that by getting it shipped and so on...it will end up around 48$ CDN anyways. lol!

It's cheaper for me to order some books from Amazon.com than walking to Indigo downtown.

The last book I bought was a TC book and even with shipping it was about $15 cheaper from Amazon.com than walking to Indigo.

The new Heli's have all been transplanted into their new homes... but I just about messed up, my humidity was around 70% so I didnt think anything about acclimation, Ive never had any issues before... but when I looked at them the next morning they had suffered some major desiccation, so I immediately placed them in humidity tents, now all is well.... they look a little rough for wear but they will be just fine.... Soil mix: 7p cypress bark 3p chiliean LFS 1p Schultz orchid mix Temps: 70f summer/55f winter Humitdity: 40-70%RH Watering: very heavy, usually once or twice daily first image is getting their new homes ready.... soil mix with an obvious application of granular trich in their holes (routine transplant application) oh and BTW, my H. pulchella has it's first mature pitcher... woohoo ;D Cheers' Butch
