Re: Oh no..are they wanna die??
 

What i see normally at nursery's is that they keep the neps under the black net shade.So the nep acclimatized to that environment.From the photos you have posted the plants will be exposed to direct sun and there will be usually higher wind blow between the semi-d/bunglows houses.So the humidity is low.Neps need more humidity.If possible place it in front of ur house or behind ur house where there is some blockage from the winds.Anyway,neps are tough plants.They will suit themselves to the new environment.Existing pitchers will die to give chance for new pitchers which is suitable to the surrounding to environment.So dont worry ya.

But i've seen lants with tons of pitchers in one plant...how's that?

harlem2347,

Evenhthough ampullarias are found in shaded conditions in the wild, it is their basel pitchers and leaves that are shaded. Sometimes covered completely by dead leaves and other plants. However, their long vines are always exposed to sunlight. Sometimes full sunlight. Whatever it is, they are still plants and need sunlight to make food.

Also, if you have a red ampullaria and want it to have really red pitchers, cover the pitchers totally from sunlight. But you must provide lots of sunlight for the leaves. The pitchers will turn blood red. It's similar to N. sp. viking.

Aliamyz,

I don't think so the pitchers on a Nepenthes can last for years. So far I've not seen this happening on my neps or known of other growers with this phenomena. Even for my truncata, it last for only 1 year +. Usually, the pitchers will last from 3-18 months depending on the species, growing condition and eating habit. The majority of species will have picthers that only last from 3-6 months. But I might be wrong. Do correct me if so. Perhaps other growers can share their experiences here with regards to this.

Yes ,you reminded me something Alienfx,:biggrin:
I saw some red ventrata's and miranda's at my local nursery so ,i asked them the name( eventhough i knew it earlier:tongue:).They told me that the plants are alata.I told them that they are xmiranda's and xventrata's.
They told me a little information about nepenthes.
They told me that you have to fill the pitchers up with water and thats all and put it in very shady place.:laugh:
