I don't even look at the colour of the threads. I just look at last 10 recent posts. It's much easier. If there are more than 10 new posts I just run the search blank for the last 30 posts or something.
And yes bical needs more shade http://s4.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

N. veitchii is an epiphyte and the leaves can be long, they grow in the wild by attaching their leaves and roots against tree trunks, so they love plenty of room and air circulation. If you have a hanging basket with holes that would be best, something like these (as you can see they are not actually "pots", they are garbage containers):

« Reply #15 on May 9, 2007, 11:18pm »http://s4.images.proboards.com/buttons/modify.gif http://s4.images.proboards.com/buttons/delete.gif I think humidity is about the same for all neps. 60-80% Though I don't think we even have to care about that in Malaysia if they are growing outdoors. We have natural humidity and with a top layer of sphagnum the humidity increases.

how do u prevent the peat moss to wash out of the basket when u water it?
Yeah, knowing the natural environment they grow, we can try to mimic it to make it grow healthier..

The basket has smaller holes at the side. Hard for damp peat moss to go through. The 2nd pic looks like he uses wood of some kind?

« Reply #18 on May 10, 2007, 9:26am »http://s4.images.proboards.com/buttons/modify.gif http://s4.images.proboards.com/buttons/delete.gif Hi guys,
Last two days I am quite busy preparing for the the terrarium and plants to be used for display at the launching of the name for the new species : Nepenthes naquiyuddinii at UKM.
Everythigs goes well yesterday.
Base on my experience and environment, N.veitchii require a drier media compared to the N.bicalcarata. They also require brighter light.
On how to differentiate the N.bicalcarata from Marudi or Sri Aman - the type from Marudi willhave a wider leaf and th pitcher will be more globous compared to the Sri Aman type. That is a general characterisic that I am using. For some you may not be able to diff them until certain stage when the pitcher is big enough
Thanks

« Reply #19 on May 10, 2007, 1:03pm »http://s4.images.proboards.com/buttons/modify.gif http://s4.images.proboards.com/buttons/delete.gif Those plants belong to Mr. Jax and Mr. Suska, friends of mine in Bogor.
The first picture (yellow basket) contains N. veitchii, and the pink basket contains N. northiana. Fauzi is right, N. veitchii likes semi-dry media. The medium in the yellow basket is a mixture of shredded tree-fern fiber + large-fiber sphagnum moss + cocopeat + burnt rice hull (arang sekam) + zeolite/perlite. To avoid the medium from being washed out, the holes are covered by shredded tree-fern fibers. This mix can stay good for 2 days without water.
The second (pink) basket uses large coconut husk fibers/cubes just like being used by Borneo Exotics.
Pure peat moss tends to compact by age, that's against the idea.
