You are absolutely correct. I have seen this sp gave a big pitcher from a grower fan. The key is to make sure high humid and cool.

Compare all among family.. I like Bario the most :1thumbup::1thumbup:

Robert, mind share the medium for veitchii that you have come across? Who know one day they will be in my growlist....

Edmund,
i've seen growers using pure coconut chips cut into small size cubes around 1"-1.5", mosses collected from forest or sphagnum moss 20%/ and 80%perlite.

Re: Veitchii beauties
 

Currently all my nep medium mixed with coconut chip + sphagnum moss.

Some members mentiond coconut chip produce acid and oil which harm to the plant. Not sure is it true or not.... did you face problem when using coconut chip after few years?

Re: Veitchii beauties
 

I never face these problems. Possibly the oil ( coconut oil ) spilled on the husk when extracting the juice and kernel.
