This is the plant I was looking for but can not find here in Minnesota. Does anyone have seeds or the plant for trade Wally

American pitcher plants, as well as some other cp's require a cold stratification period for the seeds to germinate. That is one method. I have a simple approach. I just fill a plastic cup with soil media and overfill with rain water. Then I add the seeds and place at a window in the cold attic. I just make sure they don't dry out.... and wait. I figure that this appraxinates a cold mud environment and when it warms up and has an increased photoperiod, they will germinate. That's this year's approach. Last year I tried putting the seeds in baggies with water, in a bucket of cold water, in the attic, for the winter. That worked.

You may trim the dead pitchers/trendils off and leave the rest of the leaves. Repotting.. that is up to you. i have 2 small nepenthes sanguineas growing the same pot in my bright windowsill. since nepenthes have small root system, repottting can be simple, however, repotting nepenthes can be tricky depending where you are planning to replant them. they like well-drained moist media. they like to have airy roots as well. if you are thinking of repotting it try aquiring some of these materials: perlite ,lava rock, pumice, orchid bark, peat moss & long fiber sphagnum moss. you can simply mix peat moss with orchid bark for a well drained-airy media for your nepenthes. or long fiber spahgnum moss mixed with peat moss & perlite. the better drainage you have, the better. I wouldn't repot the plant if it's growing fine. nepenthes can be repotted every 3 years or so. depending on the growing space. i saw your plant's picture it looks fine to me. you should learn more about Nepenthes before thinking of repotting. keep growing it in a bright window(not full sun) keep misting it twice daily. water it atleast 3 times a week. You will learn so much from this plant. that's for sure. I only have 2 nepenthes. one that i showed you above in the pic. and this nepenthes.. which had a terrible accident in the past. but it is perking up nicely now. This is how my Nepenthes sanguinea looked like last year before it got knocked out off my window: After..it fell off my window, i went to pick it up and checked if it was alright. the plant came out of the media. i got a bit sad becasuse some pitchers were fractured and REALLy beat up from the fall(i live in a 2 story house) so i scooped the plant back, then i repotted it. trimmed the dead leaves/pichers.. when i noticed it had 2 small offshoots on the base of the plant.. this is a TOUGh little plant. it didn't died on me. i watered it, mist it 2 times a day, and it is perking up nicely, i was really patient with this nepenthes.. i never gave up on her. :)It is also pitchering! this is how it looks like in its present health: that's the growing location for my both nepenthes' a bright window that doesn't give full sun but morning bright light.. ideal!

Oh, thank you both! Linda, I know I said it before after the switch to Houzz, but I am so glad you are here! Thanks for the date and the company name for the bowl. Every search I made either had no photos or were too complicated to figure out. Off to look at eBay, Voila, and will also google the company. I am sort of proud of myself...I know so little about china, but I did think it might be English. I am learning maybe. ;)
