lol, still very slow movement in the growth, i think because its still a baby nepenthe which is about 10 years old, i have bred many other plants off of this mother, i will upload a video of its size one day.
I want to make a simple highland greenhouse, since indoors is no more option(WAY too many CPs!). Humidity will be fine, but I'm having trouble with finding a good spot for lighting... Also, what type of glass is recommanded for the greenhouse? (I live in Belgium.)
hawkmoth234 : IT is a rettilarium....simply slightly open on the top and you can play the plants by shifting the glass on the sides left and right.
dingutscal : Man...where do you live? I have jamban too..for the moment in my Wine Keller and it is growing fine with temperatures ranging from 13 to 18 celcius. Now with this first spring days I have temperatures between 17 and 22 celcius.
I usually put in the fridge aristolochioides and Inermis and dubia....as far they are little... ;)
I have two Nepenthes jamban at home - It´s the looniest species ever, cuz as long I don´t put in a fridge(!!!) every night, it refuses to produce pitchers...
@dingutscal Wow, that's a weird pitcher plant. Do you know if Rajah is like that too? Because I just bought one and it's starting turn browner and browner.
@cruelgrotequeblood Hi there.^^ My I ask you what the momently climatics are in which your Nepenthes rajah lives? Watering, air humidity, temperature, light and soil, pls.^^
@dingutscal I currently live in NY and the temperature is in between 50-60 degrees and it's pretty dry. My rajah was already potted when it was delivered so I'm not sure what it contains. I'm sure there's some sphagnum moss in there though.
@dingutscal The soil is a mixture of peat moss and potting soil. It's in a terrarium right now with a lot of moisture and it should be around 70-80 degrees in there. For the sunlight, I just put it by the windowsill. Every other nepenthes is doing perfectly fine with that. Can you just tell me what else rajah requires?
@cruelgrotequeblood Nepenthes rajah lives in a elevation between 1300 - 2200 metres. The day temperatures are at 19 - 23°C. The nocturnal temperatures can sink to 16 - 18°C. The air humidity shall be 75 - 85% all time. Now the watering: avoid stagnant moisture at all costs!!! no mid-level or highland Nepenthes takes that for longer. to be continiued...
@dingutscal The soil I use is a self-made mixture of fine grained pine bark (1 - 7mm), Seramis, quartzsand (2 - 3,5mm) and dried-but-freshly-quollen sphagnum, chaffed. Don´t use bought orchid-soil or anything alike! it contains much too muh nutritions and would kill yer plant in no time. Water the plant frequently. Between the watering sequenes the soil may dry a little - it´s worse watering the plant too often then too less! to be ontinued...
@cruelgrotequeblood now about potting: Thou never gonna believe it, but Nepenthes has LOTS of roots! these are wire-like, less branched and fragile. so better not be too rough when grabing. I prefer long-tubed pots like spice-pots, for they like to grow far into the depth. And better use big pots. Okay, thats all for now^^ got questions? just ask!
@dingutscal now to feeding, fertilizing and stuff. Use destilled water or filtered, hand-warm rainwater, never use tapewater! It might sound odd, but I feed mah Neppies with tiny drops of low-greased milk, especially during winter, when no insect goes around. I also fertilize mah plants with a thin solution of pure iron-fertilzer. Once every month. I also repot mah Neppies every year once a time. to be continued...
Errrmmm....I wouldn't sit it in water if I were you. The roots will eventually rot and the plant will wither and die.

Thanks hawkmoth234 ,
It is just a rettilarium for reptiles with on the top 2 CFS bulbs of 25 W .The buls are placed OUTSIDE on the top.
I bought it at a reptiles trade fair!

HI , thanks! The plant left to the ephippiata is a little Nep. macrophylla
MrAga73 1 year ago
Nice video-and a very nice plant as well. But what species is the plant left to your ephippiata?

Infact...it is a very slow growing Nepenthes! I took a photo every 5 minutes but after I have accererated it to 300%.....to slow! :)
