My lepanthes collection
 

Hi guys,

Lol!! Kinda funny that i am posting this thread right after another thread screaming "HELP!! Lepanthes almost dead"...but anyways...wanted to do this before as well...now is as best as a time as any.

Here are couple of my lepenthes.

L. telipogoniflora (had this for 3y+ now...my absolute favourite...bar none...fell in love with this 6y ago when I saw it in a picture comparing it to a N. aristolochioides pitcher)

L. calodycton (sp.) ...can never spell it right. ANyways...got this last year...or actually...around feb of this year. People were right...this baby is a tough bugger. Love him.

L. gargoyla (The toughest lepanthes I have ever grown...lol (if you consider 4 lepanthes species as experience)

And finally, as before, a irrelevant photo...but something significant for me...I managed to grow a nepenthes vertically on a wall of moss.

I love lepanthes. I think they are very interesting and fun to grow. I loved the pictures. I'm sure you'll acquire more along the way. Thanks for posting.

Thanks so much. Infact I got these from the show that happened in alberta. :p

Great plants and pics!

I love calodycton and telipogoniflora especially. I'm still to get a telipogoniflora but it's pretty high on my wishlist. calodycton seems to like me, so time to try another :)

Ok, first off, its great to see another Canadian on the Board! Secondly, what a great collection you have there! I'm guessing you grow in a terrarium?

That is a magnificent array of healthy lepanthes...now if you managed to have this beauties: I am sure you can revive those dying ones you got damaged on the mail...moisturize and aerate is my advice it will all perk up soon

Thanks for comments. Yes! I grow them in a tank with my highland nepenthes collection. The lepanthes are only companion plants for me. I am a hardcore nepenthes addict. lol!
Yeah bud.. I hope those new plants can recover. The pictures of prospective flowers are keeping me hoping and waiting. Will be exciting.

Very cool looking! Can we see a pic of your entire set up (ie. the whole tank you have them growing in)? Thanks!
