Very good. I can't wait till my rajah makes a new leaf and new pitcher. So Fauzi also gave you your rajah with coco chips? Your rajah sure is healthy....

Yes, everyone, my (Secret Nepenthes) is nep rajah. Hahaha........

Hi everyone

Now just a question........I bought a packet of peat moss and LFS yesterday so now i have 3 different types of media i can use for any of my neps....I might just turn the rajah pot over and put it in a bigger pot...So which of these 3 medias should i use more or less? Is peat moss good for a well drain media? I know perlite is...I was actually just thinking of LFS and perlite thats all but since i bought peat moss was just thinking on using it.

Ken

Re: Nepenthes Rajah Cultivation
 

Well I grow my rajah in pure LFS.

Re: Nepenthes Rajah Cultivation
 

Hi Everyone

Well received my N rajah today afternoon!!!!!!!!!......Came in good conditions with one tiny pitcher and one forming.....Well was kinda weird caused when i opened the first box came another box and after unraping everything from the 2nd box inside came ANOTHER BOX...Then after i unwrap that it was that paper thing people use to reduce impact on furnitures and stuff which is covering the plant...After unwrapping that the plant was covered with a cup which was stick to it....And after i opened that there were ome stuff covering the media (which i have no idea why) and until all those that i got my first glimpse of N rajah :D...Thanks Fauzi BTW.....Talk about safety.And Aaron yeah it came in LFS.

Congrats, do you have any pictures to share?

Re: Nepenthes Rajah Cultivation
 

Hi Alcran

For the moment not yet maybe by tomorow or next couple of days i will snap pics of all my CPs.

Ken

Re: Nepenthes Rajah Cultivation
 

Erm, i think Fauzi potted your rajah in coco chips. Best not to repot, that way your rajah will adapt faster and since it is doing well. You could put some LFS on the surface to cover the coco chips and also you may put some living sphagnum moss on it.

Do take photos. I wanna see. Mine is going to make a new leaf after waiting soooo long and a new pitcher and an unconfirmed new pitcher.

Cheers

Hi Edward

I'm not sure of the media but im absoulutely sure that the toping is LFS.....Maybe the cocochips are inside.....I didn't wanna repot it so fast just to be safe.Anyways mine is like the smallest among yours lol.

Ken

Re: Nepenthes Rajah Cultivation
 

I repotted it in pure sphagnum

Re: Nepenthes Rajah Cultivation
 

Hi everyone

Just to tell that i have turn the pot over and repotted the rajah into a bigger and taller pot.....Well the normal size ones....So pratically now its in cocochips,LFS and perlite but the maine media in the middle is cocochips and LFS as a toping.

Ken

Re: Nepenthes Rajah Cultivation
 

I asked Fauzi to repot mine in a bigger pot. Mine is in pure coco chips and is doing really fine for the moment. I put LFS as topping. Any pictures?

Cheers

Re: Nepenthes Rajah Cultivation

Re: Nepenthes Rajah Cultivation
 

Boo hoo hoo.............I got mine for RM90++. :(

Cheers

Re: Nepenthes Rajah Cultivation
 

Just wondering how are all of your N.rajah doing and did you change any of your condition? Feel intriguing that N.rajah can grow in LL.

Re: Nepenthes Rajah Cultivation
 

I think i can safely say its just not a plant suited for lowland and should be grown in colder climates.

Re: Nepenthes Rajah Cultivation
 

Hmmm... can it still survive and produce leave although without pitcher?

Re: Nepenthes Rajah Cultivation
 

I don't think so cause as it grows older it will need colder conditions. Mine slowly burn out after a few months....Also why grow a pitcher plant which wouldn't pitcher?

Re: Nepenthes Rajah Cultivation
 

Humidity is most important. And I believe N. Rajah can survive in intermediate and pitcher also. Fauzi's nursery is intermediate in temperature and he can grow n. Rajah. Humidity......that's the important factor for all highland neps
