Easy neps
 
Hey guys....Nowadays my neps aren't growing that well....And lots of neps have died on me and are mostly the harder to grow ones.....So i was thinking just wanna get back to basic neps stuff....Any ideas on what should i get? Simple yet nice to grow..like miranda..

Rafflesiana, ampullaria and x hookeriana?

Dyeriana is a good one too.

Hookeriana does not seem to grow well for me....I got an amp green and its just starting to pitcher for me :)

Its kinda hard to find rafflesiana even the common forms...I went to nurseries in SG buloh to look for common neps and cant find any....Most of the neps are from YG and are hl types...

I guess i should try looking for raffs..

Can you tell us which nep species/hybrids died on you? If those are HL species/hybrids, then it's pretty obvious...

In my opinion, viking, rafflesiana, albomarginata, x ventrata, x hookeriana, and ampullaria are very easy to grow. You should try any of these that haven't died on you.

I think you should take care on the exams 1st. After this just request 'permit' from your father.

Agree on that, please take care on your N.exams first, try to make it thrive and bloom!!!

Good luck with your exams, Ken! I'm trying to improve my very lousy sejarah now. Gotta make B into A!

Nepenthes examensis... hehehe :p That's one species that I sure don't mind NOT having...

Same here! Wishing all Form 3s out there, good luck in PMR!

I don't know why, but northiana is easy to grow for me. :tongue:

Re: Easy neps
 
I find northiana easy too... Just slow.. It grows much better in burnt earth rather than moss.. Pitchers started doubling in size, but still small...
