Nice deal there! Looks like you nabbed yourself a N. ventrata! I've got one of those that I'm waiting for to "re-pitcher", plus two N. mirandas, one of which is absolutely HUGE. Neps are really cool plants, and that was a heckuva deal.

Wow theres a live plant section. Gotta love it here

Huwaaat?! $10?! That's even cheaper here where it is also a native plant lol.. converted to our currency it would still price twice that amount lol

Nice find!

I'm hoping to "attempt" to try and grow a N lowii Mt Trus Madi soon, still trying to source one and just waiting on suppliers to get back to me lol......and also a Phragmipedium kovachii, both just as houseplants. I'm going to try growing both in expanded clay, like hydroton, as I have a phobia of peat/sphagnum, it scares me :0 I'm guessing alot of T people also are into the CPs also? When my Aibo interest didn't translate over to my Arachnid, CP or Orchid friends I never realized I would have a CP interest in common with my Arachnid friends lol.

I may even try a Ceph, as I heard they can also be grown in expanded clay. I'm leaning towards CPs that don't need a dormancy or peat/sphagnum. I've kinda given up on the vft, I don't have the patience for dormancy lol. I may even go back to plants and not pursue getting a spider. I won't rule out getting a vft in the future but for now might try something different.

Edit. I'm all excited and then I just saw this thread is from ages ago.
