Default Care tips on these new guys

Hi everyone

I just got new neps from Fauzi yesterday and i haven't really figured out how to care for them....not that i can't keep them alive just trying to give it the best possible conditions i can ever give.

N x Lady Pauline

These one is hybrid between 2 highland nepenthes species and in the whole forum people have been growing them in lowland conditions and they look great.I was thinking since it was already grown in lowland conditions for some time can i drop the temperature of where it grows at night without harming it or do i have to slowly adapt it.If grown in lowland conditions the nep might be a little......small/pitchers...Or i can just spray it with cold water at night.

N Maxima x Fusca

I have never so far heard of this hybrid............When i google this hybrid up i find people talking bout N gentle or N velvet which i have no idea how to care fot

N Viking

I don't think i have much problem with this one since it grows in lowland conditions.The only problem is the lighting....According to what i heard from Fauzi (if i didn't hear wrongly) give it a more shaded condition to get the reddish colouration.If given to much sunlight it might bleech away the reddish colouration.

N Albomarginata

These one like N viking i have no problem since it grows in lowland conditions.Just the lighting also do i give it direct to maintain the red colouration??Anyways this one is really hairy...

Ken,
Congrates on your new neps.

xLady pauline
Lady pauline is really easy to grow but if you wish to mist it with cold water,it will be fine but you have to do it everyday routine.What i mean is don't spray today and forget misting it tomorrow.They do't like temperatre drop after acclimatizing to lowland condition.Is better if you don't mist it with cold water.

Maxima x fusca
This is a hybrid between to easy nepenthes.Although it is highland,they will grow wonderfully for you in LL conditions.Adult pitcher pic.It is called as xGentle velvet although people usually refer it to xGentle or xVelvet.

Viking
As what Fauzi told you,viking's pitcher will be more red if the pitcher is hidden somewhere in shady condition.The colour will bleach out too if exposed to direct sunlight.

Albomarginata
This species can take full sun and it need full sun for the pitcher to be red.
It's also a species which can thrive in lower humidity other than truncata.

The main thing to grow neps beautifully is how you're growing your neps now.
If your plants is pitchering big for you,means they like the conmdition you'ere giving them and all the neps should do well.
Keep us update about your plant.

My viking is growing healthy though and can't wait to see the pitcher.

Well, I wish you luck in growing the new CPs that you bought from Fauzi. Mine is doing fairly fine now, my sundew has already caught 3 insects and my bical caught a fly this morning, I was watching it.

Ahhh, I shall get a raff from Fauzi soon, after my mistake in the hookeriana.

Cheers
