Great looking terrarium Avery! You've given me some ideas on how to improve my own.  |

Thanks everyone!
I've done some rearranging in my terrarium, and simplified things a bit. Everything is still settling in but I will update when it's looking OK. I've separated the basal growth on my Nepenthes argentii into three separate plants, two of which don't have roots, so I'm hoping that they will root and continue growing.
My Dracula lotax is blooming for the first time, so I'm hoping to see a flower or two soon! I will update if/when it happens.

Hello all, As I mentioned in my last post, I divided my Nepenthes argentii. There were two rootless basal shoots growing off of the mother plant, so I cut them off and crossed my fingers. It seems as though all three plants have resumed growing, which I am happy about.  My Pinguicula's have responded well to powdered freeze-dried bloodworms.  Utricularia sandersonii through a shoddy/dusty lens:  Dracula lotax flowering for the first time. Two more spikes on the way:  Last but not least, Cephalotus follicularis finally making some progress. I believe that I was keeping it too dry before. It also has a lot of room for roots, so I hope that it's established itself well, as it's taken its sweet time...  |

Great plants and photography. The U. sandersonii pic is beautiful; the orange and blue background contrasts nicely with the flower. Are you using film by any chance?

Good growing Avery! Great to see the Ceph putting on some girth.
The N. argentii is such a cool little species, is yours a clone or seed grown?

Nice to see another closet orchid grower. Great work mate, your plants are looking nice and healthy.

Thanks everyone!
Devon- I'm not using film, instead I'm just posing with my iPhone.
roraima- My N. argentii is Borneo Exotics clone-3021. I really like this plant. Unfortunately, as soon as it was established in my terrarium and putting out some nice growth, I set it back. I think it'll be worth it in the long run.

Good job with the plants.

Still wondering about this Nepenthes. My guess is that it's Nepenthes talangensis, or at least a hybrid of this species. Does anyone have any input? Every time a new pitcher opens, I've been feeding with Freeze-dried bloodworms, so the pitchers tend not to last too long, but I think it helps to establish a healthy plant.   |

Very nice. I don't know what it is, but the pitchers are beautiful. Nice quality for a phone camera. It has sort of a film-ish look to it.  |
