Acacia confusa. I'm running a special all month long. 4 acacia confusa for $100 shipped anywhere in the USA. #nature #naturephotography #socialmedia #love #fyp #fypシ #fypage #photography #smallbusiness #acacia #botany #garden #gardening #grow #plants #plantas #plantscience #mastodon #instagram #BSKY #IndoorGardenLife #growyourown #botanical #africa #usa #farming #organic #organicfarming #plantsofmastodon #rare #rareplants #tropicalplants #southamerica #grow

Biggest pitcher so far on Nepenthes erucoides…though at less than 2 inches it’s still small. Chunky though, and it definitely likes the winter months and akadama soil best.

New video out!
A butterwort highlight for this week's extra vid, spotlighting one of my favorite slender-leaved species. Way easier to grow than medusina in my experience, but equally impressive looking: P. heterophylla!

Finally, it has arrived: a full upper pitcher on this seed-grown Nepenthes platychila! I imagine further uppers will continue to get better, but the main traits are here. Broad funnel shape, almost no wings, wide flat very stripey peristome that will darken considerably (see last pic of the prior pitcher).
The transition from lower to uppers in this species is quite dramatic, as lowers have very prominent spikes wings and are very thin, nearly cylindric. The peristome is stripey, smooth, and somewhat flattened out, but it is nowhere near as broad and flamboyant. The commonality of hybrids with close relatives (likely zakriana or dactylifera) even in the wild means pure examples that display this unfolded, very broad lip are harder to come by, but luckily looks like there’s at least one more (and as it also has a basal shoot already, fingers crossed it blooms soon and propagation may begin).

Erythroxylum novogranatense var. novogranatense #nature #naturephotography #socialmedia #love #fyp #fypシ #fypage #photography #smallbusiness #acacia #botany #garden #gardening #grow #plants #plantas #plantscience #mastodon #instagram #BSKY #IndoorGardenLife #growyourown #botanical #africa #usa #farming #organic #organicfarming #plantsofmastodon #rare #rareplants #tropicalplants #southamerica #grow

Nepenthes ventricosa x edwardsiana is a cross that seems to have a lot of variation in appearance and not just because of the different clones used as parents; even siblings can end up looking drastically divergent where the main trait of interest is concerned. And by that I mean the toothy peristome inherited from the father. A lot seem to have mostly lost that, enhancing the ribs of ventricosa slightly but not much more. A few select ones though, and I seem to for once have been lucky enough to land on one, end up with not only the ventricosa shape, but very pronounced ribs and larger teeth, and a rich mottled red as seen here that enhances the look. This plant is also still young and will develop even more with age; it’s only a foot across with 4 inch pitchers, and should easily reach four times that size before it’s mature. The teeth, undoubtedly, will also grow to match.

This week's mid-week extra plant highlight is bringing in another Marsh pitcher, one of the easier to grow and smaller species out there: Heliamphora minor!
