This is my Nepenthes Ventricosa. This one has been growing really well now that winter has passed. It greatly enjoys the higher temperatures and humidity. Due to the increase of these elements the plant has had a significant jump in pitcher size.

This is my Nepenthes Singalana. I got it a few months ago and so far it has been a joy to grow. This is more of an intermediate grower that loves a ton of humidity. Recently it had a pretty big pitcher jump. The biggest pitcher just opened and has begun to unfold its peristome and color up. This one is easily one of my favorite nepenthes.

This is the several venues fly traps that use to be all in one pot before i took them apart. I did that because the plant was not very healthy. I know that was probably a bad idea but it all turned out well in the end. After all seven of the separated plants are growing really well and all have flower spikes.

This is my Nepenthies Ventrata. Ventrata is a type of fast growing Nepenthies hybrid. This plant can put on several feet per year and is great for beginners like me, who are just getting into the hobby. This is the only good picture I have right now. It has grown quite a bit sense I got my greenhouse.

This is my Sarracenia X Farnhamii. This plant creates beautiful red and green trumpets that grow up to a foot or more long or that´s at least how my plants been growing. I just got it through its first winter and it was a hard one. I got about six inches of snow and nights of two degree temperatures. It just started making some pitchers and it has exploded in growth.
|
This is my Sarracenia Scarlet Belle. This is probably one of my fastest growing plants that I own. Sense I have had it, it has exploded with new growth and has filled the violet pot i put it in. I also got it through its first winter. Before it went into hibernation I entered it into a plant competition. I some how managed to get first place. It recently began to come out of hibernation and is doing really well.

This is a new pitcher on my Nepenthies Maxima. This is one of my slower growing nepenthies, but the adult plants create massive pitchers with unique patterns and peristome. This is only a baby plant but in two years it will be a massive plant with equally impressive pitchers. After a winter in the new greenhouse its growth has drastically sped up due to the increase of humidity. Just recently it has had a massive pitcher jump.

This is my Nepenthies Brukei. This plant does not create massive pitchers like the Maxima, but instead it forms small yellow pitchers covered in red speckles. It also has a deep red peristome that seems to spike out. These characteristic are not shown in the current plant because it is only a baby plant. It wasn't growing too well till recently when i changed the way humidity is created in my greenhouse. Now it makes much nicer pitchers that are beginning to show off more adult like characteristics.

This is my greenhouse. I finished building it in October of 2017 and sense then i have learned quite a bit about managing a greenhouse. I have not only learned about basic climate control but I have also learned about things like thermal mass and using passive systems to cool and keep the humidity withing a desired percent.My greenhouse currently contains 84 plants and I am slowly gathering more and more plants.
