Two questions

Two questions

#1: What is that bloom and does it do anything cool?

#2: Does this bad boy need a new pot?

Thanks!

Well sh**. I overfed this pitcher 🙁

Its starting to smell really bad. This is a newer one, so that makes it even worse

New addition! Any tips? I’m new to this.

Just got this cool hybrid recently for my terrarium set up! I have a humidity and temperature monitor and a fan that also responds to humidity and temp levels. I have dewy pine, byblis’s, and Lowii TrusMadi coming in next week!

I did NOT kill any of my bloody mary pups, yay

1st pic is today,

2nd is all the foliage I cut off to avoid water loss 19 days ago (recommended by fellow r/nepenthes redditors),

3rd was taken 19 days ago as well, about a week after separating it from the mother plant.

Kept in perlite + distilled water at all times.

As recommended, I enclosed them (in a 5L bottle, as can be seen in pic 1), therefore kept it very humid, as of today, a few have already rooted and even the most dead looking pup has new leaves. Both comments from my previous post and I doubted the chance of survival for most. But today most of them have grown at least an extra two leaves.

I'm so happy y'all :P

Mars hydro humidifier

I plan to buy a Mars Hydro humidifier for my five Nepenthes plants (hopefully seven soon). Do you use this brand? Would you recommend it? In the summer, indoor humidity drops to as low as 30%, causing the plants stress and halting their growth; I want to prevent this. Will a humidifier help alleviate this stress? I intend to use the machine in winter as well. It is currently August; if I move the plants back to the windowsill, will they get scorched? That window gets three hours of direct morning sunlight.

Can You Grow HIGHLAND On A Windowsill?

Without a fancy setup and only a windowsill or plain grow light, highland nepenthes can grow happily. I know that when they are small, temperature is not much of a problem; it is when they start to get large that they will decline. Would a HAMATA actually be fine or is it too highland for regular indoor temperatures. EDIT: 70-77 degrees big window sill about 4-6 hours of direct sun

pitchery question

It's been putting out leaves like crazy and I feel like that's a factor of why the pitchers are taking a little long to develop, but then again this is my first ever pitcher plant so I could just be wrong

(how long do the pitchers take to fully develop?)

Different name for this Nepenthes?

Hello, I recently found this nepenthes and I think it's really pretty. I kept Nepenthes for about 1½ years now and wanted to try something a little different then the usual beginner stuff, so I wnated to get this but the thing is is that only this website sells it in germany as a TC plant and I hate TC stuff (respect to all the people who love it and do it regularly). So I wanted to get an acclimated potted plant, but I can't find it anywhere online except in this shop as TC, so I wondered if it has some kind of different name? Yk sometimes planst get names they are sold by instead of keeping their true names and maybe it's just sold by a different shorter name and I can't find it because of that?

I'd appreciate the help

Also sorry for any mistakes. Englisch is not my first language and I'm dyslexic.

Novel Ecological Interaction 🦎

When two species that are not supposed interact do. This
N. Sanguinea is hanging more than a foot down from a branch with a somewhat moist media maybe suggesting that it’s using that spot to cool off specifically instead of anywhere else in the heat.

Is YOUR Collection Complete?

Obviously, it’s never ending but is it complete? Do you have every nepenthes you’d like. Are you missing a specific one, maybe you’re missing a tubby one or toothy type? If not is it a specific clone(s) that you are after? Is it the iconic Hamata? Maybe it hasn’t been discovered yet.

I’d like to have it but for me the last nepenthes I’d want would be the common pure ampullaria , just can’t decide which type to get so many clones for their colors.

Care questions from a beginner

  1. I'm soft repotting it into a 4.5 inch pot. Should I use a plastic or fabric pot?

  2. I plan on buying lfsm and planting it in just that. Can I use pure peat since I already have that on hand?

  3. How much light do they actually need? I give them about 6 hours of direct morning sun, then they're put into the shade (200-300ppfd) for the rest of the day. Soon I'm getting my plant a grow light.

  4. When it grows pitchers, can I give them bloodworms?

For sale to a good home.

It's not the plant, it's me. The grow tent is just getting a little crowded and this monster is what I've decided to start with. Not looking for anything crazy. I believe i paid about 50$ for the plant originally. Direct from Carnivero it's been almost 2 years since. This is CAR-0302. Excellent and easy grower. 2 basal growths and one main stem. 12-16 inch plant as of today. I'm in PA, anyone interested send me a message. Cover shipping plus your offer, and we'll get me some space back in my grow tent.

My local shop gets me almost every time!!! Found this cutie while I was "just looking"!! I of course brought him home. Would someone like to take a guess on what kind he is please?

What is his major malfunction?!?!

Hey all! Kinda new to Nepenthes (but I have absolutely fallen in love with them) and started my collection from Etsy and Ebay about 18 months ago and moved up to a few more expensive varieties from known sellers since. Currently housing 13, on the lanai (full sun on partly cloudy days and a bit shaded on full sun days) on the western side of the house, in 9b central Florida. Gets lots of light and plenty of water, even some occasional bloodworms since they don’t really have insects to catch.

Everyone seems to be doing well and giving me pitchers. Miranda decided to start putting hers out as well (I think she was just a bit younger clipping and took time to come around) and my newest, from Cook’s (right side of pic 4), was potted less than a month ago and is well rooted and putting out a new leaf already.

One stubborn little guy seems to be putting out wonky short leaves and not a single pitcher (pic 7). Any idea what is his malfunction (or mine)?? I don’t see any bugs (and I would assume everyone else would have them since they sit on a tray together), no root rot, moss is good… am I missing something???

Repotting issue

I have finally repotted my Nepenthes Hookeriana but I could not remove all the old substrate from the roots as they were everywhere in the old pot. Now there is a ball of roots in pure peat moss and the rest is sitting in spaghnum moss and perlite.

Can watering be difficult now because of the different properties of the two substrates?
