Casey bro,
Lu punya racun manyak kuat oh! Never knew there were so many varieties of CPs available for sale in Malaysia!

Will be at Cameron Highlands on June 7. Could you direct me to the YG park mentioned. From Gogle search, understand it is 8-9km from Equatorial Hotel opposite a tea shop. Is it towards Brinchang or the other direction.

Have a few VFTs and Pitcher plants but they are nothing compared to those in your collection especially the red VFT!

I mean, I use sphagnum moss as substrate. It does produce pitchers.. but they will dry up and die in matter of days!
I din't fertilize them and I hang it just outside my house.

Bro,
I am no expert in pitcher plants but a real newbie. However, I noticed that my plants are growing well in "burnt" clay soil that they sell in the nurseries. Just have to keep it moist.

As to the pitchers drying up, I normally pour some water into the pitchers. This keeps the pitchers nice and round and hydrated.
I do fertilise the plants with "osmocoat"; some sort of fertiliser sold at the nurseries for indoor plants. Just keep them at the fringes of the pot and not anywhere near the plant.

The occasional ant or winged termite in the pitchers does wonders to its well being. Would think not to use insects like flies or cockroaches though! brows.gif

Here's my pitcher plants pics:

My weak Venus Fly trap that I think is Shark Teeth.

Hope to learn more on the TLC of the Venus Fly Traps and Sundews that I hope to acquire! thumbup.gif

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.

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.

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...

Bro,
You're at cultivation stage whereas we are still praying that our CPs make it through the year! sad.gif
