Tiny pitchers
 

For such tiny(1-2cm) pitchers, this guy is a sickeningly cranky plant for its altitude(~1000m). Perhaps my place is too hot, but so far I've found it to be at least as, if not more, temp cranky as species from much higher altitudes, like N. rajah. Or perhaps its just the clone(s) going around. Oh well, for anyone who likes this sort of thing, since I can't enter this guy in any CP contests:

Wow i wish i can even grow neps like you......What nep is that???? jacqulineae? Tenuis?? Jamban? Anyway you grow it in your air cond room right???? Sooo how do you harden them off to lower humidity levels?

Re: Tiny pitchers
 

Very cute xD

Re: Tiny pitchers
 

Wow...a tenuis.Good job bro!!!

Re: Tiny pitchers
 

Yup, Aliamyz is right, its a tenuis. You won't believe how happy I was when it finally started to pitcher.

Lol...its really nothing special Ken, anyone who sleeps in an air-con room can grow it, my stuff just grows at the windows and the air-con is only on when I'm sleeping. They thus get normal humidity levels during the day, so it helps a lot. I used to used either bags or da bao containers to harden the plants off slowly, but after experimenting, I've found that some highlanders come hardened to air-con humidity levels. EP's come so hardened, they don't even lose their pitchers! A fair number of BE's need to be hardened, but the champion is Wistuba...stuff from there can croak overnight if not shielded from air-con initially...and takes a very long time to harden. In the long run though, many species and most(if not all) hybrids can adapt to air-con level humidity without problems. :)

Re: Tiny pitchers
 

Is it?Does your air-cond blow directly at it?But aren't you scared of not enough oxygen?

Re: Tiny pitchers
 

Good job, glad to know your extra attention paid off.

Re: Tiny pitchers
 

Not enough oxygen?? That will never happen, Marvin.

BTW, beautiful plant, I hope they continue to grow well for you.

Re: Tiny pitchers
 

Okay now I should put all my HL neps inside my room Yahooey!

Re: Tiny pitchers
 

Hey Marvin watch out for the humidity levels

Re: Tiny pitchers
 

Oops

Re: Tiny pitchers
 

Marvin, don't worry, you just have to be careful of humidity at the initial stage, especially if your normal growin area is very humid. Once adapted, many species and most hybrids will not take issue with the humidity unless you place they directly at the air-con vent. :)

You may want to take light into account as well. Sitting at a window, my Neps don't get as much light as they would growing outdoors. I'm lucky they still pitcher.

Re: Tiny pitchers
 

My bedroom window is facing the same way as my balcony so it would probably work if it isn't for the humidity level

Re: Tiny pitchers
 

Marvin, don't worry man. The plants can adapt if you give them time. If you're worried, try it out first with undemanding species like eymae, khasiana or if your budget permits, platychila. If any of those survive, then most others will, just that you may need to slowly harden off some of the more cranky ones. Or go with highland hybrids, many of those will not even flinch in spite of the humidity unless they were previously over pampered. Good luck :)

Okay my steno hehe...
