Nep.Ampullaria help
Hi guys,
My ampullaria is giving out a lot of basal shoots. http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/q...s/Ampbasal.jpg http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/q...s/Ampplant.jpg As you can see it in the picture, the leaves are big but the pitchers are small.:mad: I thought it will grow like how they'll in the wild where the pitchers are bigger than the rosette leaves.:wub: Is there any way to make the plant to produce bigger pitchers?:crying: Currently,i fed my ampullaria with fish pellets, it receives direct morning sunlight from 7a.m to 10a.m. Thanx for stopping by,:smile: |

Hi Ali
Well 1st of all N ampullaria does not produce big pitchers. 2ndly i think since N ampullaria grows under trees,bushes and shrubs and stuff like that they prefer shaded conditions. When did you get the plant??If its still new maybe getting used to your conditions Ken |
Re: Nep.Ampullaria help
I'm growing it since March this year!
|
Re: Nep.Ampullaria help
Ali, It's normal as it was grown within limited pot space. Unless it was grown on the ground.

Re: Nep.Ampullaria help
Well,what i noticed is that neps produce smaller pitcher when the humidity/water low although the leaves might be big.
Ali ur plant is quite big and i see the moss is quite little.Add more moss from below and water plenty.Keep in shade as that is how amps grow in the wild.I see ur leaves are red probably due to sunburn.If got a chance repot to a bigger pot. |
Re: Nep.Ampullaria help
Thanx Robert and James for helping!
Really appreciate it!;) |
Re: Nep.Ampullaria help
Time to repot Ali.... :laugh: I wish mine amps will look like yours soon, they're all still pretty small. :smile:
|
Re: Nep.Ampullaria help
Hi Ali
Do you know the size of the pot???Cause most of my neps are in pots the size of yours and i don't know they're sizes. Ken |
Re: Nep.Ampullaria help
aliamyz, when the main stem (the longest one stops producing pitchers), cut if off if you like. well, i do that with the ampullaris stems that have grown too long..
