took of the trunks today so bloody heavy great work out... need some work on it e.g. stripping of treebark, coating with anti ants/termites as well as lacquering...

anyway some good news... the Nepenthes cuttings are "sprouting"



any nepenthes or CPs (carnivorous plants) experts here can advise if I should continue leaving them in the water or repot them in dried sphagnum moss?

Hi dkk, i am not a cp expert, but i do grow quite a number of cps.

it is your choice whether to leave them in water or dried spahgnum moss. normally i would directly plant the cuttings in sphagnum moss and let them sprout in the sphagnnum moss.

however in your case, i would suggest leaving it in water until it grows roots, then transplant to sphagnum moss.

Thanks Lucas for your input, I'm still considered a newbie in CPs, I don't see any roots yet just new "sprouts"

saw these at Daiso Sembawang Shopping Centre, was wondering if they can be use to DIY rocks/walls etc...

Hi Desmond,

I dont mind using them as long as any one of them is fast drying, waterproof , super bond and non toxic.

Blue Blue you better than me. I was in Drawing Class (Dedicated -Paid lesson) since Primary school but hardly pass every drawing from pri. to sec. But at least I know this is handicap area. i.e. zero creativity.

[blue33]

lol... i always score distinction in art. i'm more of a handy man person, like to do DIY stuff. long time ago was a 3D graphic artist.
