Nice!!!!!!...............My penang red albo lost all its pitchers because of my stupidity.......I know they grow in full sun but after i bought it i put it into direct sun immediatly and so now it only has one pitcher which it just grew after the stress.

I found albo prefer drier media, so let the media dry a bit in between watering seems to promote growth provided all the other factors are also in optimal level as well. Hope this help.

Hi Cpnut

Well i've read of that...........And also seen those in the wild they live in very dry conditions....For my albo i water excatly the same as all my other neps once everyday 2 days...And i mist it sometimes.Well my albo is fine...but i could have been better if i wasn't that stupid hehe

Re: n. albormaginata
 

They can also live in drier conditions.I mist all my plants twice so they are all pitcher nicely;)

Re: n. albormaginata
 

My albo always shrink when its dehydrated

If you mist your plants,do it in daily basis Ken or else your plants will be stressed.

Re: n. albormaginata
 

Well I water my black albo when its dry(Actually I do this to all my neps, when the sphagnum is dry I water until its wet).I rarely mist it. I put it in full sun after I bought it. So far no side effects. Already produced 4-5 new pitchers.

Re: n. albormaginata
 

wow! thanks for the info guys.. actually ive googled this species but cant find much info on it...

but ive read somewhere that it likes direct sunlight.. so now.. the trick is to slowly introduce it to direct sunlight..

and i must water it sparingly..

Re: n. albormaginata
 

mine. supposed to be all green form but as it matures i can see more purple splotches.... got it for US$4 from BE :1thumbup:

i rarely water it at all. it lives off rainwater

Re: n. albormaginata
 

yeah... USD 4 is quite a good price actually :laugh:

Re: n. albormaginata
 

Nice the reason why it didn't need much water is probally how it lives in the wild......In dry soil.....Love the greeness

Mine is always damp.

Re: n. albormaginata
 

Nice dark one you have, Malowie.. :) I grow my 2 pots of 'Penang Red' half shaded where it receives direct morning sun.. Both have been pitchering consistently and getting redder..

Re: n. albormaginata
 

post a pic of ur albo! haha

i dont even know what type of albo is mine.. can you ID for me? :2thumbup:

Re: n. albormaginata
 

Have a look at this thread https://forum.petpitcher.net/showthread.php?t=1619 . Pretty interesing these plants actually grow on laterite on a slop. They receive little watering except from rain and will succumb to drought.
