…and some flowering plants. There are many more but having to kneel down most of the time for macro shots was tiring, nevertheless these are some that i take note.

Mesilau nepenthes trail was one of the best site to see N.rajah. There are another 3 main sites requiring long and difficult trek. The wide path, with a section cemented and the cool morning breeze makes the walk effortless.

Wow!!!!!! Beautiful pictures.

Re: N.rajah of the north
 

WOW, GREAT PICS! Say, does it mean that the rajah is growing in a humidity level of 30%? I don't know how to read the humidity meter.

Cheers

Re: N.rajah of the north
 

Hi Robert..Beauitful pics!!!!!1 I just got myself a hygrometer from exoterra...Its RM 38 man soo expensive..So far recorded highest humidity 95% and lowest 45%

Anyways Edward the humidity is the lower part of that meter thingy..

Re: N.rajah of the north
 

Edward, refering to the 2nd reading-humidity at 30% and temp at 38ºC, it was recorded in a hot morning but in a highland conditions where the air was still cooling. The 30% humidity will not stay constant but fluctuates according to weather conds.

ken, there are many brand with different prices. Lower price range usually have a margin of error ( refer to your booklet ). A small error like ± 2% was ok for home grown plants unless a requirement for precision.

Re: N.rajah of the north
