Default hi!

Hello everybody,
I am a new member frpm PJ, addicted to pitcher plants since beginning this year. Currently trying with some common species and wish can own some interesting species soon.

Hope can learn some tips and experiences from all of you.

Thank you & warmest regards,
Simon Goh

Welcome to the forum Simon. Having just had a look at your grow list you have a couple of plants that are not very common. I see you have a rajah and a lot of growers don't have these. Have you had this long and how do you maintain the ultra highland conditions that it requires? Look forward to hearing back. Cheers.

Hello there Simon who hails a long growlist. The brotherhood welcomes thee. Pretty impressive list. Maybe we all can learn from you too, you're modest.

Simon,

That's quite an impressive list you have there.

Hope you'll get interested on Sundews as well. Planing to get the in the near future? Since you're new to this forum, if you are interested I have some extra plants of Sundews that I can give to you. Let me know.

hi strath76 & Khoas,

I just brought the "S" size N.Rajah 3 months ago. Unfortunately, the plant was quarantined in Custome Office for more than 1 week, all the leaves was dried.

After collected from department, I place the plant under max. 30 degree C. daytime with 40-50% sunlite & 20-25degree C. during nitetime PLUS ensure the media moisture all the time.

However, the plant seem to be happy and produce 2 new leaves and still growing currently.

Glad the plant has recovered for you. I would recomend if you can acheive it to drop the night time temperature a little more. Rajahs tend to do best with max daytime temp of 30 degrees and then a drop in night time temp to 18 degrees. I think that if you stay closer to the 20 degrees at night you should have it thriving for you. They are notoriously slow growing though.
