Time Lapse Nepenthes ephippiata 45 days!

This video will show the grow of my Nepenthes ephippiata during 45 days!
I took a pic every 5 min, but it was too slow....so I have accelerated it to 1 pic every 15 minutes.
The video runs at 30 fs at second...so about 9 hours of grow every second that passes!
Enjoy! :)))

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... ;)

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]

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! :)

[Killerspider762]

AWSOME video. Thats is a very slow growing nepenthes!

[MrAga73]

@Killerspider762  Yes....Ephippiata is sure not a fast grower :P

@dingutscal Thank you for all the answers! I took them as a note on my microsoft words:)

[dingutscal]

@cruelgrotequeblood i have answered, they are many-parted answers, k? ;-)

[dingutscal]

@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]

@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...

[dingutscal]

@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...

[dingutscal]

@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...

[cruelgrotequeblood]

@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?

[dingutscal]

@cruelgrotequeblood Ok, then I would need to know how wet the soil is and how much light the plant recieves

[cruelgrotequeblood]

@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]

@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.^^
