Some nepenthes that grows reasonable well in burnt soil

[poweramps]

Just to share some nepenthes that does ok in burnt soil, grown under lowland condition.

N. rafflesiana




N. eustachya






N. truncata (lowland)




N. spectabilis - old pitcher bout 12 cm (only managed to snap photo when the pitcher started senescence.




Rosette pitcher of N. spectabilis (scorched because it receives full day sun!)




And the bugger even flowered before- it is a dried up male inflorescence.




Raff and truncata are in 98% burnt soil plus 2% cocopeat (as a sorry excuse to increase humidity)

The rest are a mixture of lecaton of various sizes and burnt soil to achieve a porous mix.

Fauzi, how's ur spectabilis doing? The bical that I got from u also started to pitcher after i changed to burnt soil. It was sulking and only growing leaves like a palm tree before cos I have been very lazy to change the perlite mix

Thanks. Those are plants in my parent's place in Penang. Besides those, sanguinea, rajah, campanulata, ventricosa, reinwardtiana and ventrata also grows fine in burnt soil. Small rajah can produce 2.5 cm pitcher with red colouration.
