CNY holiday pics - lowii x campanulata

[poweramps]

Here's some pic of lowii x campanulata that I got from Fauzi I think about 2 years ago. Now under my mother's care as I left it at kampung a year ago. Haven't been fed for one and a half years time, but the pitcher managed to catch ants anyhow. The plant sends out 2 rosettes

That is really a nice and well take care plant... How I wish mine is growing so nice.,..

Thanks. Well, my mum just water the plant only (unless she has been feeding it something and not telling me about it). It has proven to be quite a hardy plant. Was a good buy.

May I know how you prevent the burn soil flush out from the big hole of the pot? Thanks...

Oh, previously i experimented with coco-fiber, but that made the soil very moisture retaining, and killed a few sanguineas. After that, and including this one i use small, flat pieces of charcoal to block the holes as I slowly add the soil in. Very tedious, and if use too big a piece, the soil volume becomes less, but more airy and soil can dry out easily.

If you look at the first pic, you can see the hole looks black - charcoal pieces blocking the hole
