Natural History Publications (Borneo), Kota Kinabalu. Short for 'Me-Ok-Yay!', Meoky cups are customisable, BPA-free, reusable, and eco-friendly drinkware. Robustly manufactured they say they can keep drinks cool for up to 6 hours (and the travel mug versions can keep liquids cool for up to 36 hours apparently). definitely NOT leak proof. I did turn it over and had a steady stream of water coming out of the hole where the straw sits. Possibly leak proof without the straw inside the cup, but I'd refrain from turning it with the straw inserted, haha. (Well, I had to try it, right?! lol) Amagase, S.; Nakayama, S.; Tsugita, A.

PMID 5354017.The pitcher is actually a swelling of the mid-vein in the leaf. Insects are attracted to these pitchers due to nectar secretions and colouration of the pitcher. Once the insect falls into the pitcher, they are digested by the fluid at the bottom of the trap. Symbioses [ edit ] A lower pitcher of N.attenboroughii supporting a large population of mosquito larvae. The upright lid of this species exposes its pitchers to the elements such that they are often completely filled with fluid. [34] I bought two of these tumblers when I saw they had the color I wanted as they had previously been sold out everywhere. Propagation: Cuttings - Cuttings can be taken from the plant anytime of the year, however cuttings taken when the parent plant is actively growing seem to have a greater success rate. The best cut is one with an active growing tip of the stem and about 2 to 3 leaves on it, however, it is not essential to have a growing tip. Cut off the lowest leaf from the cutting and plant the stem vertically in damp Sphagnum moss. The lower node (the point where the leaf was growing before you removed it) should be underneath the potting mixture level. Place the pot for rooting in a plastic bag or propagating case in conditions of high humidity and moderate light. The cuttings will start root in one to two months and begin to form new pitchers in about six months. When new growth is visible it is a sign that rooting has occurred. Once the plants have rooted and started to grow, pot them up in a one size bigger container using standard potting mixture and put them in a terrarium (or partially opened plastic bag) to adapt the new plant to the lower humidity conditions.

Our COM4 or COM7 is ideal for re-potting these plants.We also sellAkadama, which has been found to be a fantastic medium for growing Nepenthes. Some growers also use 50% perlite / Sphagnum moss mix with equally fantastic results and one which we also recommend. Seeds (Easy) - The only soil you can use is a 'Carnivorous' labelled compost, as other mixes will retain too many chemicals that'll burn the cases of the seeds. Set the seeds on top of the soil's surface, resisting the temptation to compact it. Maintain evenly moist compost and allow the excess water to freely drain from the pot's base to prevent water-logging. The ideal location for successful germination is in a bright, indirect setting with temperatures above 18℃ (64℉) with bottom-heat. Keep the pot in a transparent bag to provide a stable level of humidity, along with longer-lasting soil moisture. Germination may take up to three months, so don't discard any unsuccessful seeds until this threshold has been surpassed. Remove the bag once the seedlings produce their second leaf and then split them into their own 5cm (2 inches) pots after a further month. Edwards, P (2005). "Growing Nepenthes – Part 1" (PDF).

When growing in areas such as offices with little to no insects, you can feed the plant yourself with dead insects placed comfortably inside the pitcher of the plant.Pavlovič, A.; Masarovičová, E.; Hudák, J.

Light:Very bright light and direct sunlight is needed for these plants. Keep your Nepenthes in a sunny windowsill or somewhere where it will get a lot of very bright light.
