CP terrarium thread, continued

Thanks, dude. I'll have to give this a shot one of these days.
 
Is that a smilesii?

I'm getting a new Nep!!! It's N. maxima "Lake Poso", and a N. smilesii to replace the dead one at Meadowview. Also getting a burkei soon. I'm excited! Predatory Plants has the ramispina I've been looking for. As soon as I get a job.....
Which one do you mean?
 
That's the largest copelandii pitcher from the basal growths. I can't wait until they get as big as the one I chopped.

Where are you getting your new neps from?
 
Here's the vid!

Sweet video, Paul! Looks amazing.

Here's part of what I've been doing the last couple of days. I had to put something together to keep cuttings and propagation attempts:

I cut a hole in the plastic top and mounted the fan to blow down through it right through the output of the fogger. Tomorrow I'll be adding an exhaust fan, but there seems to be plenty of air exchange. That along with keeping the temps in the low to mid 70's should help to keep mold and fungal growth at bay. I'm hoping not to have to do more than a little watering every couple of days as far as maintenence. I'm totally up for any thoughts or questions that you guys have on this set up.

Nice video. The new Neps just arrived today! They came all the way from Hawaii, Keith. The smilesii looks incredible! Hopefully it doesn't throw a fit before I can get it to Meadowview. The Lake Poso maxima is small, but healthy. I'm hoping it'll like me more than the ventrata. I have some long arm cap seeds, Sphagnum, and U. graminifolia on the way too! D. burmannii seeds and N. burkei are next.
