That primitive version sounds indeed good for us amateurs also, I suppose :-)
BTW how long is the dormancy period with _Pinguicula grandiflora_ ? Must
I wait for the spring when all snow has been melted or can I dig it
up now?
Doug Atlas:
What is the situation now with your _Nepenthes_'s ? _N khasiana_
cuttings ? Do you remember? I have succeeded to root _Nepenthes ampullaria_!
It took about 2,5 months (in sphagnum/peat in plastic bag 20-22 Celsius)
:-) growing!
