Re: repotting northiana
 

So what humidity level does it like? >.<

Re: repotting northiana
 

mine..... high humidity in the initial stage of growth (newly received) and gradually to normal outdoor condition. this is because the media that i used is a fast drain combination......ermm..actually coco fiber, charcoal and the exact ingredient from the 'household grade water filter' that you normally see in water filter...ie clay pellet, 'perlite', etc etc..*biggrin2*

Re: repotting northiana
 

Oh okay.. Mine grows in sand, vermiculite and perlite so I water every two days :D

Cool picture!

May I know, normally up til what size, we can tranfer those small plants to individual pot?

Re: repotting northiana
 

ehh....spiky leaves??

Re: repotting northiana
 

Kevyn, all pitcher plant seedlings have spiky leaves like that..they will eventually smooth out when the plant grows bigger.

Robert, I'm hoping to grow a northiana like yours, beautiful growth there. Haven't gotten a plant yet but will get one soon, gonna try yours media combination as well.

Edward, how's your north getting on? :)

Re: repotting northiana
 

Very nice! They sure have come a long way......I just have to sit and wait till my north starts putting out it's beautiful traits. Although watering is a little tricky for my north, i'm not really sure how much water it needs when the media is part LFS.

Re: repotting northiana
 

ahbeng,wait till the leaves are approx 3" across.

alvin, this is one lowlanders that worth growing due to its large and colourful pitchers.

Re: repotting northiana
 

hmm.... can't recall if it is really 'all' pitcher plant seedlings.....will observe properly if i receive seedlings next time.:1thumbup:
