Awesomeness! Wish I had the setup for heli!! still have not mastered those yet.   JB

Yeah I'm in SC. Gets difficult in the summer. But I'm making it work. These do well in terrariums too under t-5 HO lights till they outgrow the chamber. My greenhouse is currently swinging from 100° days to 60° nights and so far so good. Everything is living it except for sibyanensis. And its...

Remember hamata is a highland plant and requires cool temps and 80+ humidity. An no smaller plants are harder to maintain till established. Its not extremely hard and if you give them what they need then they can be easy. I'm loosing a hamata right now and have no clue why. Sometimes these...

Freeport. Keep in mind Wistuba plants need lots of TLC when you get them. I've lost many of his nepenthes. And I hear the heli are harder. Just remember to give them 99% humidity and work them down slowly. Evey is not the best place to get CPs. If you're in the states try Cook's carnivorous...

Heli you have to order. Wistuba has a distributer in Canada. And mind you his plants take some TLC to acclimate to your conditions. Not always the easiest. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

Oh now I thought you were talking about heli. Flytraps need full sun and don't do well long term undear lights. And also require a dormancy. And inexpensive would be aquarium and T-5ho lights off eBay. Can get a four foot four bulb for around 117 with bulbs. And then look Craig's list and yard...

I always trim my sarrs. Yes most definitely trim the old deal pitchers. I like manicured plants. My tables trimmed for winter. The only leaves I left on the plants were the ones that still looked good.

What's up Maiden. Yes everything is doing great. Z few losses here and there but that's is to be expected. I have new seedlings popping up everywhere. And the greenhouse is a jungle. I'll share some pictures soon. I just got to work. I'm ready to see new ones of your babies too. JB

Trent, you most likely have to mail order everything. There are many reputable dealers online. And plants ship remarkably well. As far as growing outside where you live you will have to choose wisely. But if you're willing to give other plants the accommodations they need you can grow in AZ...
