We use seasol ( a seaweed concerate) and a fish based fertilizer at 1/4 strenght used for orchids. Fertilize once a month, during the active growing season, directly into the pitchers. Same techinque can be used for Neps, Ceph and Sarra, not that I fertilze my Sarra. They are very good catching their own.
For Drosera and Mexican Pings mist on the leaves.

ok ok, confession time. i was there on friday afternoon with my friend who is now crazy about CPs, because we got nothing better to do. i didnt even know whether they were selling anything or not. i took a pot and he took one. this is our first time buying heliamphoras. so, we left the rest to others..... only 1 pot each, i swear. i am going to repot it and am seriously thinking of dividing it since it is quite big plant. wish me luck......

i told him that there wont be anymore the next day and true enough...

The flat top mountains are called Tepuis and are basically rain derests.

Just ask who had bought this at Penang fest, quite a number of young leaf turn yellow and dried up. Is it a temperature shock after from Cameron to KL?

In other hand, I saw number of mature pitchers appeared. Hope this is a good sign.

I haven't re-pot them as I read the book, don't re-pot if they still with young leaf. Otherwise will take more longer time to produce mature pitcher.
