« Reply #20 on Jul 23, 2007, 11:14am »  Thx for sharing Michael. Good to know your personal experience. At the moment, I `m still trying to locate limestone or coral chips. Apparently what I got the other day was merely granite. Everyone says go to construction site, can find at the roadside etc but we simply do not know for sure what limestone looks like. « Last Edit: Jul 23, 2007, 11:36am by tarence »Link to Post - Back to Top  203.106.226.24 isaacgoh

Re: N.northiana
« Reply #30 on Sept 3, 2007, 8:59am » i got mine as a very small plant about 14 months ago & it oredi had many offshoots then. it was just bought at a morning market in kuching by chua for rm8 i believe & we waited with bated breath to see of this plant could survive. Pitchers....we daren`t hope coz we kinda figured this nep was a lil` difficult to keep...but well, for rm8...why not try ?
so finally after more than a year...it kinda decided to end the pitcherless period.
mine currently gets direct morning sun from 8-11 a.m....the way i see it, that`s how it grows in the wild....
Good luck for yours hongrui.....it should pitcher eventually. « Last Edit: Sept 3, 2007, 9:00am by tarence »Link to Post - Back to Top 211.25.130.42 isaacgoh

« Reply #31 on Sept 3, 2007, 9:21am » Wow, lucky you Tarence. Rm8 is very cheap for a northiana.
My big northiana female refuse to pitcher for me still. I'm happy just to see her throw out some big and nice leaves for now. Let her figure out when she will pitcher.
However, my 2 northiana seedlings had a growth spurt recently and is throwing out pitchers too. Waiting for them to grow into a nice size to be transferred outdoor.

Looking at your plant, I would be tempted to do a cutting seeing that it has a number of side shoots.

« Reply #35 on Sept 4, 2007, 12:37am » I have found that N. northiana are water hogs. Give it ample water and allow the media to run freely with excess water every few days. This helps makes big pitchers and allows the plants to develop a better root system.

Yaa, still "existing". Growth has been stagnant. Only recently it started to grow new leaves.

David,
How is your northiana seedling doing?
Mine is doing quite well in my terrarium. I almost gave up on them. They like it moist but not soaking wet (no plate).
Rgds,
Isaac
