#windowsillnepenthes
Why this channel?
I plan to show you how other nepenthes growers from around the world grow their plants on their windowsill.
If you are interested and want to show us your plants, contact me so that I can arrange an interview.
(All you need is a recent smartphone and a good WiFi, I'll take care of the software).
