Fresh Nepenthes Pitcher Plant Leaves!
So here are some photos to show how Nepenthes grow their leaves, the new leaf hides in the previous one and as the old leaf grows, the new leaf emerges and pushes out from the old leaf, ultimately ending up on the opposite side to the last leaf (how clever!) Hopefully, the photos show this.
I was adding live sphagnum moss in the hopes of adding humidity for my Nepenthes and thought I would take some photos as well.
Have a good Good Friday everyone, I appreciate all the interest shown to these amazing plants 🥰🤩🙏👍😃🤗 #newgrowth #freshleaffriday #freshfeaturedfriday #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #plantmafia #happyplants #carnivorousplants #greggers #greggang

@JesssJungle LOL, I was just warning someone else of the temptation when you get a nepenthes so I had best give you the same warning 😆 🤣 😂 😹 they are intriguing plants, maybe a little more challenging than your average carnivorous plant but in my opinion, totally worth it! But I'm biased LOL 😆 😂 😅 🤣 there are so many colors and varieties these days and so many hybrids which are often better and grow better in a standard household. So blest to hold off as once you get a taste for them....hahaha I did warn you 🚫⚠️👍😆😹🐦⬛😍
@JesssJungle the main thing is if you do get any carnivorous plant, to have fun with it as they can be such intriguing and unique plants to grow. I posted some photos of one of my Nepenthes pitchers, they are beautiful...stunning at times ! Maybe I should have heeded my own warning LOL 😆 😅 😂 🚫⚠️👍
@signorebean they are remarkable plants and there is still a mystery how different plants totally unrelated manage to develop pitchers, traps etc. But the more we look, the more we find out just how clever their "plant brains" are, they even attract insects using ultraviolet light, like a mosquito catcher! I could go on and on but I appreciate your interest in them. Glad the photos made some sense. 🧠⚙️⚙️⚙️⛓️🔗🧬😀
