Re: Cute tiny rajah
 

It's indeed a cute little fella. :)

Re: Cute tiny rajah
 

Fauzi said it may take 3 years for it to reach 1 foot but I don't mind. This is the plant(together with VFT) that got me hooked into CP after I saw it in my text book about endangered flora and fauna.

Re: Cute tiny rajah
 

Good luck in ur new plant.It looks healthy.Being patient has its rewards.

Re: Cute tiny rajah
 

Nice rajah.
Becarefull that the birds would peck it. My campanulata was eaten by a rat.:sad:

Re: Cute tiny rajah
 

A good thing my house don't have stupid birds only smart birds.

Re: Cute tiny rajah
 

Stupid birds wont peck the neps la.Only the smart birds will peck at everything.Hehehe...:biggrin:

Re: Cute tiny rajah
 

2 birds laid made nests and laid eggs. One was stupid and one was clever. The smart one laid in a shady lots of branches palm tree. The other bird laid egg on my tall only leaves no branch palm tree. One windy day the smart bird had no problem while the dumb one's eggs fell on the groung and crack. That bird was bird-brained.

Congrates Aaron...hope you take care of your new baby!;)

Re: Cute tiny rajah
 

Kent, I'm just trying this plant to see if it will survive. See if it will survive until next month. BTW yah Kent it made me go WOW

Re: Cute tiny rajah
 

Wow, Aaron, you have a rajah now? Congrats!

I think I'm slowly being poisoned by rajah. It's not one I like at first but the peristome is doing me in. Soon I'll have to get one! :tongue:

Btw Aaron, make sure you can give the rajah the HL conditions it likes.

Re: Cute tiny rajah
 

Its growing!!The growth point is getting longer and a new leaf is coming out. Even in LL condition. But lets see if it pitcher.

Re: Cute tiny rajah
 

it will pitcher, be patient. Rajah is tricky to grow, you have to pamper it. After all, its the RAJA!!!!!!! Take your time, I wish you luck for growing it. By the way, that is really a cute nepenthes, so small! No bird has attacked my CPs, I think they are scared by the look. hahahahahahahahaha

Cheers

Re: Cute tiny rajah
 

A pitcher has already formed. I'm waiting for it to open.

Re: Cute tiny rajah
 

Wow the 1st person to succesfully grow a N rajah in Lowland conditions!!!!!! Grats Aaron any hopes of pictures of the upcoming pitcher???

Ken

Re: Cute tiny rajah
 

Hahaha I'm not the first one-lah. The pitcher just 2 cm cause still S size.

Re: Cute tiny rajah
 

I'll take a photo tomorrow.

Re: Cute tiny rajah
 

Thanks Aaron

Ken

Re: Cute tiny rajah
 

Fauzi told me that Rajah can hardly pitcher which exceeds only about 1 1/2 cm in LL condition so your one is 2 cm..that's a great start.
Please provide it with HL conditions as much as you can Aaron.It will reward you with even more big pitchers.

Good luck!

Re: Cute tiny rajah
 

I bought a 2 in 1 meter. Theres a thermometer and a hygrometer in it. The temperature is from 35-26 and 26-20 C. The humidity is 75-80%.

Re: Cute tiny rajah
 

Ooooohhh, thats good! The humidity is high enough. But still, if you can, put it in the cooler condition of your area. Hmmmm, now I start to seem addicted to buy rajah, my condition should be ok, hehehehehe.......I sincerely wish you luck for your rajah to grow a full pitcher!:1thumbup:

Cheers

Re: Cute tiny rajah
 

Hi All,

Thanks Aaron for the photos.

Previously I am using 100% sphagnum moss as a media and I found that it is suitable if I can control the watering i.e 3-4 days once. Giving them a cool and humid place such as under other bigger nepenthes plants in my nursery. Since I cannot control the watering, I change the media using small coconut chip with more aeration to the roots system although it rains everyday.

The result is encouraging and the N.rajah that Aaron got is one of the plants that is starting to pitcher. I got the plant from BE end of July and 3 weeks after that all the pitchers dried up. After I repot them using the coconut chip, they started to form new shoots and a few of them have pitchers on all leaves.

So Aaron, the moral of the story is ..... control the watering for your N.rajah if you are using the sphagnum moss and make sure you put them in a cool humid place.

Thanks

Fauzi

Re: Cute tiny rajah
 

Nice Rajah Aaron!
Thanx for the advice Fauzi!

Re: Cute tiny rajah
 

Look at the half opened pitcher. Its so cute. Actually 1. 5 cm than 2 cause I didn't look properly.

Re: Cute tiny rajah
 

Indeed, it is cute. :laugh: Why everyone says rajah is cute??? Did you name your CPs? I name all of mine. Mr. Rajah looks great, hehehe, unless you have a new name......:laugh:

Cheers

Heres my cute rajah now. Produced another leaf. You can see that the leaves had developed a reddish colour.

Re: Cute tiny rajah
 

Hi Aaron

I'm always excited to see your updates on your N rajah so no new pitchers yet?????I realised that you are also using those pots which are flat at one side i have one which i still haven't put to use yet.

Ken

Re: Cute tiny rajah

Re: Cute tiny rajah
