Saw little seedlings of these for sale today at the Victorian Carnivorous Plant Society annual show. A bit rich for my blood ($250) but still cool to see!
Yeah because they are so rare in cultivation still they are expensive, those are probably only the 3rd or 4th time they have been available here in Australia.
So glad i found 2 clipeata plants for like 35 euro, amazing species. Both are Already getting a basal, wasn't exoecting that for such small plants. I Just hope they survive their first winter with me
I know rigidifolia has only males, I saw a population of clips at 100 ish in wild last I checked 😢. I have a SG from hort and it's been very hardy. Nice to see your specimens doing well
Hopefully that clip population is still there. I'm still yet to go and see neps in the wild, the Australian ones involve walking around crocodile infested swamps which sounds abit dicey lol
@@Eat-Me-Exotics I feel ya, I'm ok with snakes, big cats and wolves 😂 but big things lurking underwater that barrel roll after chomping doesn't sound like any fun 😱 🐊.
It's such a shame. I'm not sure how much luck has been had reintroducing plants into the wild but hopefully in years to come we can be part of it with clipeata. If I even manage to breed it I will definitely be sending the seeds to botanical gardens etc to get them into the right hands.
This is such an interesting and unique species!

Awesome. They are such a great species. Can you get them inside on a heat mat for winter?
They don't seem too picky but I think it would help.

@@Eat-Me-Exotics yea doesn't sound very safe and fun inducing , unless you like adventure ! 😂
@@Wiseexotics I love adventure, I'm happy diving with sharks around here but crocodiles scare the shit out of me 🤣

@@Wiseexotics hahaha agreed
can clipeata also be grown in intermediate conditions alongside nepenthes veitchii bariohighland?
on a windowsill
Yeah I would say it definitely could, it doesn't seem like the most demanding plant and like similar conditions to veitchii
@@Eat-Me-Exotics ok thanks for the answer
Too easy, good luck with them hope they can do well for you.
@@Eat-Me-Exotics Thanks
Are you selling clipeata????
No unfortunately not atm, I was a couple of years ago and hopefully I'll get it into propergation in the next few years.
@@Eat-Me-Exotics learn tissue culture. More plants 100 fold. I am doing this myself
@@conormason8989 I'd love too but I've got no useful space for it. Maybe one day
Beautiful species savez of the extinction

@@Eat-Me-Exotics hope and work, will bring back this beautiful plant. Good luck
