Small beginnings. This tiny seedling is *Nepenthes truncata* (lowland ร— highland) โ€” a cross between two different elevation forms of the same species, combining the vigour of the lowland form with the slightly cooler tolerance of the highland. Still in its earliest stages, nestled in a thick carpet of mixed sphagnum, but already putting up its first proper pitcher. ๐ŸŒฑ

*N. truncata* is one of the most impressive Nepenthes in terms of potential size โ€” known for eventually producing pitchers capable of holding litres of digestive fluid. This one has a long journey ahead, but every giant starts somewhere.

Klein begin. Dit minuscule zaailing is *Nepenthes truncata* (laagland ร— hoogland) โ€” een kruising tussen twee verschillende hoogteยญvormen van dezelfde soort, die de groeikracht van de laaglandvorm combineert met de iets koelere tolerantie van het hoogland. Nog in de vroegste fase, genesteld in een dik tapijt van gemengd sphagnum, maar al bezig met zijn eerste echte bekertje. ๐ŸŒฑ

*N. truncata* is een van de indrukwekkendste Nepenthes qua potentiรซle omvang โ€” bekend om uiteindelijk bekers te maken die liters spijsverteringsvloeistof kunnen bevatten. Dit exemplaar heeft een lange weg te gaan, maar elke reus begint ergens.

Basement garden is in full swing.

Purple tomatillos, 5 types of lettuce, cherry tomatoes and basil.

On deck: Sugar pumpkins, poblanos, tatsoi and chives.

Bonus: hydroponic spinach kratky experiment

I might have a baby redbud ๐Ÿฅน Unless it's a weed whose seed flew into the pot ๐Ÿ˜„ We'll have to wait and see (but it's in the middle, where I put the little bean, so it should be it).

In other news, it seems my (potted) wisteria probably froze this harsh winter. It was slow to start growing leaves last year, too, but I feel like it's too late at this point ๐Ÿ˜ž

Baby lemony basil just starting its second set of leaves!

I wrote alt text but in my sleepy headed state couldnโ€™t come up with a good description of the interesting shape of the initial cotyledon leaves.

I really enjoy having a camera app with manual focus on my iPhone for photos like this one. An old version of Obscura.

Finally got around to replanting my tree seedling/clone experiments, something I've kinda neglected to do for far too long.

The two surviving Thujas I grew from seeds were half dead and their roots look not so great, but apparently thujas do have brown roots, so maybe they'll make it.

The clones from spruce cuttings had mostly not managed to develop roots and I got a little sad about that until I got to this one, which somehow was rocking huge roots and a fresh sprouting tip at the top ๐Ÿฅณ

A few others had a tiny start of a root. They're all planted out front in a little tree school row now. I think that one will at least make it!

This is the best time of year. The seedlins are growing well, and summer is just aroud the corner.

Plant Swap: A community where plant enthusiasts worldwide can swap plants and accessories

Exactly what it sounds like. This is an organised place to find other plant nerds who want to trade seeds, cuttings, and live plants.

Iโ€™m posting this again because I know that there are many growers out there looking for certain species or trying to find a home for their extra seeds or seedlings. Donโ€™t be shy!

Please read the sidebar before posting.

PlantSwap - Mander

# Welcome to c/PlantSwap @ Mander.xyz! > In this community, plant enthusiasts worldwide can swap plants and accessories. โ€” โ€” ## Notice Board This is a work in progress, please donโ€™t mind the mess. โ€” โ€” ## Guidance * Items Permitted to Swap: Plants, cuttings, seeds, crafts, and garden and plant accessories of all kinds. * Sales Posts: Limited sales posts allowed; no shop spam. * Gratitude: Use the review thread for thanks, no separate posts. ## How to Post * Specify your country and/or region in your post title in brackets, e.g.: [Canada] or [Chocรณ] or [Malaysian Borneo]. * [Have]: What youโ€™re offering. * [Want]: What youโ€™re seeking. * Details: Include clear descriptions and images. * Responsibility: If your plant is known to be invasive in some regions or climates, note this in your post. ## Trade Lists * If you have a list of several plants that you want or are offering to trade, post your list as a comment in the featured thread and keep it updated. Alternatively, link to your list that you keep updated elsewhere. (External lists must not be hidden behind javascript or floating banners. Suspicious links will be removed.) * If you have high-value plants available that you would like to trade only for the high-priority plants on your โ€œWantโ€ list, one way to clearly indicate this is to separate your lists into tiers (e.g. something like this [https://amazonrestore.codeberg.page/badass-fruiterrarist-land/plant-wish-list/]). โ€” ## Propagation Advice work in progress ## Shipping Advice * Plant Health: Check for pests and disease before swapping. * Pay attention to the weather. Make sure to prepare for cold or heat waves. Ice packs and hand warmer packets can be used when packaged appropriately. * Old Tupperware is very versatile and useful for shipping with wet paper towels. * Some seeds have a short viability, so it makes sense to ship them in slightly moist growth medium (such as sand or coconut coir) so that they sprout rather than die in transit. โ€” โ€” ## General Community Rules 1. Donโ€™t throw mud. Be kind and remember the human. 2. Keep it rooted (on topic). โ€” โ€” ## Similar Communities DM us to add yours! :) ### General - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [https://mander.xyz/c/plants] - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [https://lemmy.ml/c/plants] ### Gardening - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [/c/[email protected]] - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [https://mander.xyz/c/gardening] - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [/c/[email protected]] - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [https://lemmy.ml/c/gardening] - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [https://midwest.social/c/gardening] - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [https://lemmy.world/c/permaculture] - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [https://mander.xyz/c/tropical_plants] ### Species - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [https://tchncs.de/c/bonzai] - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [/c/[email protected]] - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [https://mander.xyz/c/mosses] - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] โ€” ## Sister Communities ### 3D Printing - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [/c/[email protected]] ### Science and Research - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [/c/[email protected]] ### Biology and Life Sciences - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [/c/[email protected]] - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [/c/[email protected]] - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [/c/[email protected]] - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [/c/[email protected]] - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [/c/[email protected]] #### Plants and Gardening - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [/c/[email protected]] - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [/c/[email protected]] - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [/c/[email protected]] - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [/c/[email protected]] - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [/c/[email protected]] ### Physical Sciences - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [/c/[email protected]] - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [/c/[email protected]] - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [/c/[email protected]] - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [/c/[email protected]] ### Humanities and Social Sciences - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [/c/[email protected]] - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [/c/[email protected]] - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [/c/[email protected]] - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [/c/[email protected]] - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [/c/[email protected]] ### Memes - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [/c/[email protected]] - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [/c/[email protected]]
