I'm attempting to root a basal from a Nepenthes "Lady Luck" for a friend, but I accidentally cut two. I guess they were intertwined enough for me to make a mistake. Oopsie!
It's a decent size, about three inches across, and I was planning on leaving it on the plant because the crown looks wonky. It's not rotten, no sign of a pest, and I'm sure it'll grow out of it, but it just looks like the last kid to be chosen for kickball.
Right now, I have it wrapped in LFSM, placed in a small seed starter cell, and loosely bagged on an east facing windowsill. However, I think it might like to go to a new home. Since it is an unrooted cutting, maybe it would be best going to a more experienced grower, but this giveaway is open to all US addresses.
Winner pays shipping. I may have a small box, so it shouldn't be too much.
Drawing in a few days to try to get it out by the weekend.
I'm not as creative as others, so standard format.
1. Flopsy
2. Mopsy
3. May the fleas of a thousand Jackrabbits infest your armpits if you choose 3
4. Cotton
Remember, this is an unrooted Nepenthes basal cutting, so if you choose to enter, do a little research on how to get these to root. It appears to be relatively simple, but not quick. You must be consistent in the process to succeed.
Aaaaand go!

I would except I just got 2 rooted off mine lol I just used lfsm kept them bagged and their tray filled. Took me mb a few weeks before I started seeing roots.

1. za419 - I'll try and get the ball rolling?
2. Thack - Rooted all my Tiveyi cutings
4. Huntsmanshorn - Sounds like fun!

I see three. Did one of them already produce a basal of its own?

Let's go ahead and call this, and draw out a winner. Looks like our own ol' Big Al is the winner! Roll Tide! (I wonder how many will see what I did wrong there) Congrats Intheswamp.
I already have your address, and I think I have a small box to save a few bucks. However, do you want regular first class which can take longer, but is cheaper? Or do you want to go flat rate at $10, and have it only take two to three days?
Let me know your thoughts, and I can possibly get it out this weekend so you'll have it about the first of next week.

Congratulations, but I thought he was from L.A.

No self respecting man from The South will admit any affiliation with Los Angeles.
However, the address he has given me says AL. But he's getting long in the tooth, so he could have meant LA. Though looking up the address in LA and AL, it only comes up in AL.

L.A. Lower Alabama

Yippieeeee!!!!!! Well, thanky, thanky Chef!!!! A mighty fine prize this evening, I might say!!! Looking at the temperatures it looks like the low-80's for the highs over the next week down here. You're just north of the gulf that puts you pretty close to me...plus, it's downhill so there's that, too. No typhoons or large scale volcano eruptions are predicted during that time either for the mule trace between here and there...or would that be there and here...???? Inniehow, do I want it 1st class or priority, that is the question, to be or not to be....but my question has always been "be what". But, then Rip ended up just being a guy with a really long beard so it didn't really matter in regards to being or not...I guess. Sometimes things get a bit foggy as you're starting to get sleepy down in the hollow. So, we're back at square one (or two, depends on whether your counting by one's or two's, I reckon". 1st class or flat-rate...decisions, decisions, decisions....kinda like when you order a soda at a fast food joint...do you want a large one or just a small one and go back and fill it up a bunch of times...and, will you want a big cup to take with you when you leave or are you just gonna dump it in the can on the way out the door. Rip never had that problem because he slept through it all...ever wonder how he survived all that time without eating or drinking anything? Weird, eh? Then there was that headless guy riding the pony...that was weird, too. But, it's been fifty years since I read the story so it's probably changed by now...new witnesses, DNA, forensic science advances, etc.,. The moral of the story is never take a drink with a bunch of dwarfs playing ninepin.

Ok, back to the Lady Luck...which should be luckier than ol' Rip was...imagine, those dwarfs slippin' ol' Rip a mickey, innyhow.

Can anybody tell it's been a long day? Really about as long as yesterday, but, you know whaddamean.

Tell ya what, Chef. I'll PM/DM/etc you.

Thanks again!!!!

Now, (I bet ya'll thought I was gonna drop it, eh?...nadda chance!!!)

LA L.A. L-A .....all, at some point in time have been codewords for "lower Alabama". Please, don't divulge this information, I'd hate for anyone guarding the air to get in trouble for leaking this info. Yes, "LA" or "L.A.", has for years been understood, among *certain* privy circles, to mean "Lower Alabama". Now, what is this "Los Angeles" thing ya'll are talking about??? Is that a place or codeword for something? Kinda makes me think of Moe, Larry, and Joe...I think they were cousins to Rip...or was it just Moe and Shemp that were Rip's kin?

That's all I got to say about this except, thanks again Chef!!!
