Hi all-
I've been successful in getting a few of my nicer neps to produce basal offshoots, and as such, and I've started them up as cuttings. I would like to offer them up for trade (for early summer 2007), and in addition, I still have a few BE plants that I purchased earlier in the year.
Here's what I will be offering (sorry, Canadians only), all in limited quanities, so some requests will be placed on a waiting list :
N. ampullaria 'cantely's red' N. ampullaria 'green' N. ampullaria 'speckled' N. species 'six' DS (looks like a large version of Pete D'amato's "Savage Garden" book's N. alata speckled photo) N. ventricosa DS (male) N. alata N. ventrata clone 1 N. ventrata clone KJ N. ventrata clone DW3 (giant form) N. rafflesiana white N. rafflesiana nivea elongata gigantea N. mira N. maxima clone DS N. maxima clone CL N. merilliana N. tobaica clone TK orange N. tobaica clone LD pink N. tobaica clone DS spotted N. maxima clone CL
I'd prefer to offer trades of my rarer species only to those who have had experience in growing a similar species, and a trade of comparative rarity.

I have a few extras as you know. What tecknique are you using for your cuttings. I cut a ventracosa down this early summer. I used about 3 nodes cut liefs off did a quick sterilize in 10% bleach, rinsed, recut and put in a cup of sfagnum. They all grew but I have lost 2 I think the huimidity as too high. I had a cup on top as well. STephen

I'll be replying to your PMs.
To answer sdeering: I cut the plants down to 2 - 3 leaves, wrap the cut base into a sphag ball and jam it into a transparent pot (ie. plastic cup with a hole). Place them all on top of a drainage rack that gets freely misted throughout the day. They're located at the bottom of my grow racks (ie. next to the green house floor), where no sunlight hits them. The clear plastic allows me to check if the cut point is rooting or rotting.

About your N. sp '6', do you happens to know if originally, this clone came from Malesiana Tropicals?

Shhhhh... My friend Dan, found it as a cutting in his luggage after a trip to Australia a number of years ago . No one knows how it got inside his bags... . But it sure has nice pitchers

Ah! a luggage parasitic plant then! I've heard often of those, but botanist and ecologist has still to determine the phylogeny and all the process in this ecological behavior! Thanks for the info, since I fall on the CP Photo finder on info saying that N. sp '6' going around from MT are often in fact N. aptera ie N. rigidifolia...

UPDATE: Sorry folks. All the Nep amp 'cantley's red' are spoken for.
