My only decent sized Nepenthes (N. alata) continues to astonish
>me.

I am fairly new to cp (successfully growing a few of the ubiquitous VFT)
but have managed to grow many kinds of exotic plants (and fungi). I
want to try N. alata. Does anyone have any special advise for this
variety? I intend to grow it with my orchids (under lights) and will
actually purchase the plant from an orchid catalog. The temperature
might be a bit high but good humitity and air flow.

I would also like to try tissue culture. I am familiar with sterile technique
and agar culture from growing fungi. I read awhile back someone was going to
produce an FAQ for people tissue culturing at home. How is that going?

BTW, I think this list is one of the best I ever subscribed to.
