There is a reason my plant appears that way, so good observation. Ha. Before I had my cooling system, there was a point in the summer where temperatures were soaring, and the N. glabrata was not having it. I dug it up to find the roots had partially rotted, so I made a cutting of the growth point (the rest of the stem was black) and stuck it in my basement with my seedlings where it eventually rooted. So that explains the height. Also, I think that the angle I took the photo at gives it the illusion of having wider leaves than it does.

N. edwardsiana putting out a new leaf. I wonder if it will stay green or turn red? It seems this plant can take a lot of light.  I don't think Dinema polybulbon likes the light too much. I moved it a bit further away and it finally bloomed. It seems healthy enough although the leaves can get yellow. Any thoughts?

Hi Avery - Looking really good! I enjoy that the little eddy looks like it is erupting from the LS in the pot. It's like a vegetal zombie movie! |

Fantastic shot man. A slight change in perspective just makes it look so much more epic. Love that moss wall man...great job.  I love your plants too. That aristo is just fantastic. |

Thanks, Varun! Here are a couple quick shots. Nepenthes villosa seedling plus a similarly sized N. edwardsiana pitcher beside it:   |

Beautiful plants, and a rare side by side comparison between these spectacular and closely related species at a young age.
I'd love to see the villosa from Kinabalu next to these as well.
Thanks for sharing Avery.

Man! Thats incredible. Fantastic that you guys got pure villosa there. I think my sg ended up as x kinabaluensis. Still cool nonetheless. I always wanted the hybrid. But that means still on the lookout for a pure seedling. lol

I'd love to see your x kinabaluensis Varun! My seedling is on the fence.

A small update. Nepenthes tentaculata and various Pinguicula:  Cephalotus follicularis and Heliamphora minor:   I noticed a while back that there were many small Isopods in the soil when I would lift up the plant pots. I was happy to know that they were keeping the place clean, bit didn't realize that they could also climb into the pitchers like on this Nepenthes jacquelineae:  Nepenthes aristolochioides:  |

Stunning! All the plants are so happy and beautiful!
Do you have to water the Pings since they are on the mountain?

Haha, thanks Willy! I feel that the photos look a bit weird as the colouring is really tricky to get right. The photos under the current fluorescent lighting come out very green, so I attempt to correct them after to mixed results.
