    Nepenthes villosa Wistuba clone
    Huge leaf jumps, starting to produce pitchers. Should be nice by the end of summer.
    First pic is now, second pic is a year ago, the two last pics 2 years ago.

    That's really cooling seeing the growth over the past few years. Gotta love seeing progress!

    Yes...Nepenthes for me are slower than most Orchids until they get 3-5 years old. And so easy to kill when seedlings...great job Mikhail!

    Very nice progress! He said that he won't be selling N. villosa any more because the customers complain about the initial size (and took it off from the price list). That is too bad. You are growing Cephalotus follicularis next to this? Does it grow ok at such low temp?

    Thank you!
    Yes it's sad, but BE has now their own clone out. They grow very well, during winter the Cephalotus follicularis produce more leaves and then summer lots of pitchers. I've found mine don't like heat at all.
