Actually, they are in the greenhouse, not in the nepenthes terrarium in the
greenhouse as Paul posted, so it may be OK.

The mix our plants came in definitely contains perlite, so it is quite likely
to be a 50/50 peat/perlite mix - they may actually originate from Alan Lowrie
but I can't be sure of Gardenworld's sources. I even suspect that some of
their plants came from Fred Howell (same mislabelling ;-) )

Well, that's another two new species I haven't heard of before, not to
mention all the petiolaris forms...

Assuming they're still alive, next time we send you seed I'll try to
send some gemmae (?), so you can have fun weeding 'em out of your Utrics
too!

Well, until I hear that it has been officially renamed as a subspecies of
peltata, I'm going to continue calling it D. auriculata. (and even then I
may not change the name - there are several differences between them that
should warrant it being a separate species, at least in my book).
