Hi all,My name is Ricardo from Bandung, Indonesia.

hi everyone

how do i tell adrianii apart from other species especially spathulata? what is the distinctive features of adrianii?

ricardo, are those adrianii growing in highland or intermediate environment? do u mean that the nursery is located at 1300m asl?

I always said this species looks just like a spathulata, or spathulata x snaguinea. I think the leaves are broader though. Telling it apart from spathulata seems like it'd be fairly easy, since adrianii seems to always have some red, and spathulata pretty much never does ;p .

Welcome Ricardo! Nice photos and walk-through. Especially like the "like being there" shots!
Beautiful plants. Aside from the adrianii and maximas, do they grow any other species?
Do they grow any unusual forms of ampullarias or gracilis?

Welcome to the forum, Ricardo. I enjoyed the photos. Did you notice what kind of growing medium the nursery was using? Looks like there might be shredded fern in it.

Hi all,
You must ask the distinctive of the plants to Suska and Adrian(Gymnamphora).They found this species.
This species grow very well at highland and intermediate conditions.also in lowland condition, but as long as i know in lowland condition the pitcher's color change into more greenish yellow with red spots.the size also much smaller.in the wild the pitcher can reach 30 cm.

the nursery use shredded ferns, as long as i know the nepenthes available in the nusery are just common species nothing special in this nursery.
