Hello! I have a nepenthes growing outdoors in zone 10. It's growing pitchers that are trumpet shaped, like the lower ones in the photo, but has always had fat sausage shaped pitchers. Is this typical?
Does anyone know what Nepenthes this is? Also, is the pitcher so small because the plant isn’t fully grown? Or is there a different reason?
I tried to cultivate moss outdoors to add to my nepenthes and now I have loads of these tiny white bugs crawling all over everywhere. Does anyone know what they are and what weapons grade insecticide to use? I want to absolutely destroy them. Thank you for any help.
N. ventricosa x hamata that I acquired in February.
It’s an intermidate hybrid and it’s growing in an intermediate climate, just getting into autumn so the temp range is 14-18 degree nights and 21-14 degree days. All my other intermediates are fine, it’s just this one that’s struggling. It’s been kept moist and hasn’t dried out or sat in water
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
She just put out her first upper pitcher about a month ago and now she’s flowering! Do I need to do anything with/to it?
My veitchii (m) started getting brown and curling after shipping. What could be happening?
Hi :]
I got this Nepenthes.
The tag says 'hybrid' but nothing else. I think it might be a singalana or maybe a 'Rebecca Soper', but I'm unsure.
Could you help me identify it?
Thanks!
(The last two photos were taken in the sun.)
Just thought this was really cool and thought I would share incase anyone didn’t know. Have a great day and happy growing!
Found at a local nursery and it was unlabeled, the workers also didn’t know the species or cultivars.
My guess in ventrata but I honestly have no clue. Any guesses?
hey so how red is too red? I've got several nepenthes and they're doing alright but a couple of them are turning quite red on their leaves. I only worry because my first nepenthes almost died because of too much light, but that was Drosera capensis level light and it turned brown and dry very quickly so it's not like this where the leaves just seem to have developed a nice tan. pictured is a (first pic) Nepenthes Dactylifera that's been in my hands for just a couple weeks and the second/third are one that I haven't identified yet that I've had since the middle of January. at what point does normal coloration turn to sunburn?
Mine originally started in a humidity dome, but I've adapted it to outdoors with 40 to 50 percent humidity, and gets sun from 7 am to 1 pm, what do yall think?
I spotted this today and it’s transparent and solid but it’s not sticky.
Hi, I own a n. Tobaica and I have had it for a few months now, it hasn’t grown any pitchers yet so that could possibly be why. On the other hand, it could also be from my media, which is a VFT soil because I couldn’t find any nep soil (). I’m suspicious that it is dying from the root rot possibly caused by the wrong media.
This one is maturing into upper pitchers now
I’d previously posted about growing my vogelii without any issues, but I think I’ve jinxed myself. The leaf margins always turn brown and dry out, and the pitcher production has dropped. I do see two developing pitchers though. The new leaves always start out fine, then seem to crap out. The conditions in the grow tent are as follows:
Humidity: 70% during the day, upper 80s at night
Temps: mid 70s F day (roughly 23 C) and mid 60s (roughly 18 C) at night
Growing under bright LED grow lights
Fertilizer is applied every two weeks (Maxsea)
I’ve included photos of said plant. Any ideas as to what’s going on? Thanks in advance!
I have quite a few nepenthes and a few other carnivores (bog plants which drain my soul of water instead of just my budget), but the water demand is getting a tad bit ridiculous. I have a countertop vevor distiller that I run 4-6 times a week during my two days off when I have the time to watch it, but the water demand from two humidifiers, my roommate's cpap, and my plants is getting a bit much, especially since I use fertilized distilled as well for my regular plants (sensitive things like begonia and calathea) and terrariums. I grow lowland nepenthes primarily in my grow tent, so the potting mixes dry out quick under the heat. At least I haven't had to worry about that humidifier for a while since the tent has a bit of an over-humid problem (how tf do I deal with 94% during the day? By buying an inline fan, thats how. My poor wallet).
With that all said, I was wondering how everyone is keeping up with the distilled water demand that the plants require? I have reptile water softener for times when I need to prioritize my carnivores over my regular yet sensitive bunch of plants, but I can't rely on it as the dosage is iffy and the stuff is expensive. If you use an RO, how expensive was it to buy and install? I am tempted to get one for the kitchen, but it would remove drinking water of minerals and I can't add minerals back without mucking things up for my carnivores.
Has anyone had good luck with a short and wide pitcher in indoor conditions? Looking to add one of this general shape to the collection under a grow light and with a humidifier. Thanks!
