A very small forest... Haircap moss, Mt. Glorious #ForestFriday #scape #photography #macro #microscape #nature #epiphyte #moss #gift #ECK

Stripes on stripes. This is *Nepenthes veitchii* (Mt. Murud "Striped" × "Candy Striped") — a horticultural cross that takes the already iconic veitchii peristome and turns it up to eleven. The boldly banded collar of yellow, orange and red is what makes *N. veitchii* one of the most sought-after Nepenthes in cultivation, and this particular cross delivers exactly that in abundance.

Native to the rainforests of Borneo, *N. veitchii* is an obligate epiphyte in the wild — clinging to tree trunks high above the forest floor. Those wide, flared leaves with their clasping bases are perfectly adapted for exactly that lifestyle. 🌿

Strepen op strepen. Dit is *Nepenthes veitchii* (Mt. Murud "Striped" × "Candy Striped") — een horticulturele kruising die de al iconische veitchii-peristoom nog een stap verder brengt. De opvallend gestreepte rand in geel, oranje en rood is precies wat *N. veitchii* tot een van de meest begeerde Nepenthes in cultuur maakt, en deze kruising levert dat in overvloed.

In het wild groeit *N. veitchii* als epifyt in de regenwouden van Borneo — hoog in de boomkruinen, ver boven de bosbodem. Die brede, omhelsende bladbases zijn daar perfect op aangepast. 🌿

hi fellow #airplant keepers, does that look alright? i'm new to this, we only met four weeks ago and i offered this accommodation, and have since tried to provide ample humidification but only mist no submerge #airplants #epiphyte

After many years sitting on the same tiny pot, Platycerium bifurcatum got a much-needed repotting today. Staghorn ferns are a truly odd bunch, epiphytes that get downright massive and do so by forming two completely different types of fronds: one, the ferny branching part that sticks out and both does most of the photosynthesizing as well as releases spores when mature (and mine is finally making ones that branch). The other is a flat-growing, grasping sheet of a frond that spreads out across the plant’s perch and both anchors it where it is as well as creates a spot where debris can gather to feed the plant as it decomposes. Now when I say these get massive, this species is a relatively small one in the group but still makes the flat fronds up to 30 inches across, and the branching fronds up to 18 inches long. As they also tend to divide as they grow too, multiple bases eventually develop that can form a colonial mound several feet in diameter and many pounds in weight. As epiphytes they don’t actually like pots usually, so I’ve taken mine and split it open to lay flat against a tree fern panel, where hopefully it will spread new roots and becomes gigantic in short order.
