You can cover the tank with transparent plastic/glass. It will increase the humidity. If it is not satisfy, you can use air pump as David explained.

those moss can grow on that. Most important is it must be wet.

Walaueh!, slowly but surely there are cross overs from petpitcher.com and to top is off are the Taikohs like David, Edmund and not forgetting Casey himself. Check out his grow list and pics of his plants! That's astounding, man!
Newbies like myself are sure learning a lot from their advices! Thanks everyone.


I’m still at learning stage. Especially how to bring out CP potential color and shape. Most of time, Im still fail to do so…

Beside that, I still fail to propagate some CP like S. psittacina, S. scarlet belle. D. broomensis, D. derbyensis and others...

Okies.. will try to cover the container with some plastic first. Do i need to wet my substrate first before placing it in? currently i think i won't be using those pump yet. actually im just afraid i dunhav another big enough tray to put the plastic container inside.

Anyway, will try to make it first then see how's the progress running on.

Forget to tell you that, please leave a small gap at top of tank. Yea, wet substrate before put it in. Actually, if yours tank is big enough, you can put a 500ml mineral bottle at 1 corner and filled it with water and pump air into it. And find a way to hide the bottle.

I didnt did it before, im not sure what else we need to watch out when setup it. You may need to consider what light you going to use. Beside that, air circulation is the others thing that you may want to consider.

To be honest, i still kill some CPs sometimes. Sometimes it's due to my carelessness, but at other times they just die. No matter how well you keep them and provide the best conditions for them, They just die!

When I first started I killed my first pot of Nepenthes and it was a hardy pot of N. gracilis.

I remember now, I kill a pot of nepenthes as well. After that, I got a D. burmanii and red VFT from David. And I successfully grow them to adult size and successful propagate them as well...

I just kill a S. psittacina and D. derbyensis. sad.gif

D. adelea is choosy plant, require high humidity, cooler and shade place. Many people fail with it. You had done the best, so, just wait and see.

D. intermedia is hard plant. And it like water tray. Suppose no issue with that. May I have a photo of it before you repot it? I never experience with root rot at my drosera.

BTW, D. intermedia root is really tiny.



camillenoir, that is nice N. rafflesianas if im not wrong... It is yours? Nice!!!!! I dont really like N. rafflesianas, because normally it only have 2 or 3 pitchers, others will dry up.

the size of the pitcher, i believe, more than make up for the lack of presentable pitchers smile.gif

and i'm really fond of raffles - since i stay true to species, i consider them to be the easiest among the biggies.

under my (often neglected) care, the withering of N. truncata's pitcher is more apparent in both the lowland and highland form, and rajah is a plain pain in backside.

Just got some of the terrestrial moss back. now placing them inside the taufufa mug, i decided to start the terrarium on a small size container first.

btw, those substrate that comes together with the terrestrial moss, will it harm the CP ? I haven't add in the CP yet, but just wondering.

Currently, i will try to keep the moss for a weeks or 2 first, to see how its going on.

camillenoir,

That is a nice rafflesiana pitcher you have there. Looks like you've been growing neps for a long time. Do share with us your cultivation routine and growing conditions. Raff are also one of my favourite neps. They can be so varied in colours and patterns, and I think they have the most spectacular pitchers for a lowland species.

Besides raff I like amps, bicalcarata and sp. vikings. Amps are also great to collect as they come in so many varieties.

i'm a total noobie when it comes to neps and my little collection is nothing to talk about. cultivation wise, my lowlanders are placed under 30% shade, hanging above ponds and i did nothing much afterwards. my highlanders are placed inside under controlled condition (in which many more experiments need to be done).

besides the biggies, my favourite are the veitchiis - can't get enough of their peristomes. jamban is also killing me, but it is too much of a gamble for now.

next goal (after some encouragement from Volker H.) is to adapt N. ovata to the lowlands.
