Porably.....just feel thankful because able to get this plant in cheap price....hehe

Re: Hey N. ampullaria
 

Amp rarely produces upper pitchers. They are well known for the basal pitchers that they make, and some people actually cut the main stem to encourage the growth of a large clump of ground pitchers. Maybe the plant wasn't given't the right condition so that it could produce pitchers on the stem. However, this plant looks quite healthy and you got it at a superb price, considering it is less than RM25. Best to repot it so that it gets more space to put up more basals and ground pitchers.

i am sorry to say that ur plant looks like poached from the wild, the leaves looks so long !!

Re: Hey N. ampullaria
 

Okay....can i give it medium with pure sphagnum moss?



Really? About that i was not so sure, just know that i bought i cheaply, don't know it can survive on my place or not...
Hope it can maintain....:biggrin:

Re: Hey N. ampullaria
 

Sure. Nep amp are very hardy, but if your area rains a lot and you are exposing the plant in open areas, you can use a mix of sphagnum and coco chips. Or peat moss and perlite.

Re: Hey N. ampullaria
 

Mine isn't very hardy...last time I forgot to water it and it stop pitchering:spinning:ouch.

Re: Hey N. ampullaria
 

Okay.....will report it after i get my new sphagnum moss supply, because i had almost use it up because of the Drosera and Utricula seeds...hope they will survive and bloom at my house....... =)

Re: Hey N. ampullaria
 

give it a wider pot, your ampullaria looks strong and should be ale to grow more basals, i suggest you can change to Baba HP-130 pot which has a plate attached..

Ampullaria seems to benefit from this kind of pot that can keep the moss always in wet condition. Shade the plant 50%, amp does not like too bright .

Re: Hey N. ampullaria
 

The basals look really good Allen! I think you can just cut off the long stems and wait for the basals to grow bigger. I grow mine in the terrarium in a shallow water tray. They really like a lot of humidity and moisture. They don't take too well to my garden though, which is a little unpredictable in terms of weather and air circulation. :spinning:

Re: Hey N. ampullaria
 

The bottom part when i can kept the water was using one of the product of the baba.....and i quite like that product also...haha, thanks for your opinion, i will try to make this enviroment for it*biggrin2*



Thanks funkychips, i was too dear of it....just hope that the air propagation method will work out so that i can have more plant and more plant for trade or sell(because i had almost used out my cash for many thing for the plant, wuhuhu:crying::crying:)
