Ali,
I'm aware of Fauzi's plant, his is bigger, like Jen's plant. Fauzi probably have it for a while now. All our vogelii in Malaysia probably came from him which originated from BE :smile:, thanks for reminder. :1thumbup:

WOW!!! Nice vogelii. Need to add it to my wanted CPs list.

100% sphagnum moss - check if it's too wet. If so loosen the media ( media get compacted if water from top) or repot with 80% perlite, the rest sphagnum moss ( OR peat OR pine bark ).

Using 100% sphagnum moss will get compacted over a preiod. occassionally loosen the media to allow for aeriation and well drain . watering inbetween drying, ensure only moist medium.

25ºC to around 32ºC was the day temp experiencing in their natural habitat. The night temp would fall to around 16ºC, very windy in the evening and very high humidity ( 80%-90% from the trip i observed ). while predominantly epiphytic they are also found growing among shady low shrubs along road banks old logging road.

note-lowest 1st pic the "hensom zhai" ( handsome guy:glare:) holding the pitchers, also notice the dry weather road besides ( those road will be very slippery and muddy during rainy season). Those are found along road banks of logging raod. Also take note 3rd column before the last- the 3rd right pic, guy climbing up a slope. Moreover most of the pitchers taken were growing against slopes of road embankment ( slopes suggested water run off freely ).
