I started growing CP app. 14 years ago together with my brother
Oliver. Within the meantime we are mainly growing Nepenthes in
fishtanks ( 6 fishtanks with 160 l each ) under fluorescent lights
with very good results. Under these conditions do all species which
we tried within the last years ( including i.e N. villosa, N. pilosa,
N. lowii and many other species ) grow very well.
My second interest in CP is in vitro propagation of Nepenthes, which
I have started in 1990. This is a very interesting kind of
propagation but it needs a lot of work and time to keep all running.
( It is only a hobby, not my profession ! )
That's all for the moment, so I wish a good year 1996 to all people
reading this mail.
Best regards,
Matthias
