Just a curiosity...
I was researching a few "exotic" plants to showcase my build as it nears completion and I originally went to orchids but I'm not a huge fan of them....I bought a bunch from Andy's, and having had them for a week now, I'm nowhere near satisfied the price I paid for most of them, esp in comparison to some other plants i've found.
In particular, I was curious about pitcher plants. I am particularly interested in NEPENTHES. I know these are not typically grown in pdf setups but search did hit up a few mentions of them. given my setup i can afford to house 1 highland nep and 3-5 lowland....so I just wanted to see what others had on this? It seems they are safe.....and in my quick searching I may have misread, but is there a species of frogs that voluntary lives in the pitchers?!
I'm using this for an open air panther chameleon setup, not frogs/etc. If anyone knows of a nice plant for my centerpiece, I'm open to ALL suggestions I don't know plants. I have a LOT OF ROOM, 6' height to grow and 2' diameter (if I need that much).....gimme what ya got! My temps at the top will be ~85, and ~70 near the ground with full light and shade available....i can obviously also control the water exposure etc
all my stuff is green and my house is decorated with a fair bit of red so ideally i'd like something with some strong reds ....looking at something like these :
Nepenthes bicalcarata 'SARAWAK GIANT RED' - NEW LOWER PRICE!
anyone know how long they take to get to "full size" from 3" plants? I'm guessing 1+ year?
