I just brought the "S" size N.Rajah 3 months ago. Unfortunately, the plant was quarantined in Custome Office for more than 1 week, all the leaves was dried.

After collected from department, I place the plant under max. 30 degree C. daytime with 40-50% sunlite & 20-25degree C. during nitetime PLUS ensure the media moisture all the time.

However, the plant seem to be happy and produce 2 new leaves and still growing currently.

Glad the plant has recovered for you. I would recomend if you can acheive it to drop the night time temperature a little more. Rajahs tend to do best with max daytime temp of 30 degrees and then a drop in night time temp to 18 degrees. I think that if you stay closer to the 20 degrees at night you should have it thriving for you. They are notoriously slow growing though.

Hi Simon,

You have collected so many plants in less then a year! :1thumbup: A big hand to you.
Hope you enjoy here and welcome to the forum!

Hi Simon,

Yeah its true that not many people can make a N rajah thrive around these areas even making it live is hard....For me its totally in everyways impossible to grow a N rajah.My day temps are 32-35 and nights around 25-28 this is when it didn't rain or something.I can only grow hardy highlanders like N ventricosa which i provide highland temp drop at night.But during the days it lives with all my other lowlanders.

You stated that your growing temps for N rajah is 30C during the day and 20-25C during the nights rite???Isn't that a little to warm for growing N rajah.N rajah is a ultrahighlander which i think need temps to drop to around 13-15C at night and 24-28 C in the days,maybe if you provide this conditions it will thrive and pitcher nicely hahah.Anyway great job on your rajah.Oh yah just remebered i didn't even place a thread in this side of the forum when i started here.I use to be more active in another forum but now im mostly here

From wat I see everyday, the max. daytime temp is 30C and min. 20C during nite if no rain. The best part is very winding most of the time.

Maybe I should upload the pix of N.Rajah to share with u. But the plant is recovering since it has quarantined for sometime, atleast I saw 2 new leaves which indicate the plant like the environment.

I used to go trekking/hiking every weekend. But due work commitment that required us to travel most of the time especially this year, I've miss out most of the activities organised by MOTHs(Malaysia Outdoors Trekking/Hiking Society).

Thought of planning a biz trip to Penang end Nov, conjunction with the Penang Flora Fest and spend my weekend in Penang National park & perhaps travel up to Gunung Jerai for photo shoot.

welcome Simon.....let`s hope you become a sundew fan like me in the near future. heheh.

the sparkling dews in the morn` sun are irresistible to both insects & humans. and wait til you see the flowers i.e. from byblis. amazing. heheh.

Welcome to petpitcher simon...
