20 pots of one size gets 10% discount. They also have labels.
A note on do-it-yourself supplies: For labels, I use plastic milk
cartons, cut into flat strips. You can write on them with permanent
marker. For containers, I've seen catalogs advertising "poly-bags".
These look like just plastic bags with small holes near the bottom. You
could use baggies just as well. Since baggies aren't stiff, you'll
cause root damage and upset the plant if you frequently shift your
plants around. Baggies would be ok if you have them all supported
inside a tray. I find baggies are not water tight, so punching holes in
the sides isn't really needed. Also, bottoms of milk cartons make good
planters too. I've been saving these this winter and I'll stick a Utric
in each one and try growing them outdoors this spring.
N. anamensis:
Gordon sent me one several months ago. Mine is still very small. It
has about 1.5" pitchers with 3" leaves. The pitchers on my plant are green,
with coppery tint, very little to no "fringe" on ribs. When lid opens,
the lid remains very close to the peristome.
N. khasiana "tubers":
I bought an N. khasiana a long time ago from a mail-order nursery in Florida.
They shipped a woody thing about the size of a small sweet potato, and it had
a short shoot coming out of it. It may have been collected from the wild, as
this was a long time ago, before CITES.
