3.Can i grow them in lowland condition by misting it with very cold water 3 times a day (morning,afternoon and night)?
4.How long will it take from recovering from stress?
5.What are the common problems that occurs when growing these plants?
6.How long will it take to produce a leaf and a fully developed pitcher?
I need advice......help!
Thank you! |
wow Ali you so daring wanting to try. Anyway they are highland neps, except ephippiata which was more a H/L intermediate form, may have better chance growing in lowland conds.by providing cool environment. Lowii and rajah generally prefered windy night,day temp 26C humidity 60%, and night temp 12C and humidity 90%.
Not sure if anyone have tried misting with cold water daily but a room with aircond setting would be prefered.
Most neps will recover from stress in 4 weeks to 6 weeks, but again it all depend on local growing conds.
common problems that occurs when growing these plants- dried up, rot and death
