I've never been any good at recognising plant differences. So now i'm keeping it in bright shade, no direct sunlight. I've hung it outside, i don't know what the humidity is out there... Think it's okay? It's hanging about a meter over my flytraps which are all sitting in water. I could always put a bucket of water under it~ « Last Edit: Mar 20, 2007, 11:34am by zakhren »Link to Post - Back to Top ![]() Administrator ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() member is online ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Joined: Dec 2006 Gender: Male ![]() Posts: 2,326 Location: Kuala Lumpur ![]() « Reply #1 on Mar 20, 2007, 4:46pm » ![]() ![]() Link to Post - Back to Top ![]() Pioneer Member / Global Moderator ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() member is offline ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Joined: Dec 2006 Gender: Male ![]() Posts: 713 Location: Ayer Keroh, Malacca ![]() « Reply #2 on Mar 20, 2007, 5:11pm » ![]() ![]() ![]() Senior Member ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() member is offline ![]() I'm back! ![]() ![]() ![]() Joined: Feb 2007 Gender: Male ![]() Posts: 473 Location: Subang Jaya, SS19 ![]() « Reply #3 on Mar 20, 2007, 8:56pm » ![]() ![]() Ok here are the pics : This image is reduced by 13%, click it to view full size. ![]() This image is reduced by 13%, click it to view full size. ![]() This image is reduced by 13%, click it to view full size. ![]() What does the fungus look like? If it is that fungus how do I fix it? Will spraying fungicide do? I hope it's just normal sunburn... Oh and I think it's growing in peat moss now, I'm planning to repot it after a month after it gets used to it's new environment, what would be the best medium to transplant it into? Peat moss or sphagnum moss? And how much perlite if any? « Last Edit: Mar 20, 2007, 9:38pm by zakhren »Link to Post - Back to Top ![]() Administrator ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() member is online ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Joined: Dec 2006 Gender: Male ![]() Posts: 2,326 Location: Kuala Lumpur ![]() « Reply #4 on Mar 21, 2007, 9:25am » ![]() ![]() Just a suggestion, I think it is better to repot now and let the plant acclimatise once rather than twice in 1-2 months. Neps do not like changes in their environment, so better to do it all at once now and after that leave it alone. I use to use just sphagnum moss in the past. I later found this to be too wet and there is not enough air for the roots. So now I use 2 part perlite and 1 part sphagnum moss now. Sometimes I add some peat moss in it. Different growers will have their own prefered mix and no one mix is best. It depends on your growing environment, how often you water them, etc. I think if you are using peat moss, you've got to mix with more perlite or similar materials to provide air to the roots as peat is very compact.

Just buy the normal fungicide from the nursery. I go for those that are powdered. You'll have to mix it with water and spray on the leaves. It will be unsightly at first as the whole plant will have white powder spots on it once the water dries up. Don wash it away. Leave it there for a few days. The thing is the fungus might be killed but their rust spots will still remain on the old leaves. If you manage to kill off teh fungus, the new leaves will be green and clean. So you'll have to wait for some time before the whole plant is nice and green. However, I found it difficult to manage rust spot fungus when my plants are put outside under sun and rain. The best is to give it dappled sunlight (50%-70% sun) and covered from the rain.

Sadly, all the pitchers dried up, turned brown and look ugly. But fortunately, no neps plant died. I just think that neps can absorb water from their pitchers when the media is dried up.

So i think its normal. Its very slightly brownish, and glazed.. New N. miranda leaves has that slightly brownish glaze look to it. When the leaves grow older, they turn more greenish.

It just opened up today. Any sign of rust spot or is it supposed to be that colour? I expect this new leaf was somewhat exposed to full sun too before I got it. You can be quite sure now that the brownish leaves was sunburn. If it was fungus this new leave whold have it too...

I have not tried this but maybe you can test it out and see what happens. Get a clear plastic bag and wrap around the developing pitcher. Spray water in the plastic bag before you close it up. That way it's super humid around the pitcher. Who knows this might encourage bigger pitchers. Don't seal the plastic tight tho'. Leave a little gap so that when the sun shines on it, the temperatures will not cook the developing pitcher inside the plastic bag. « Last Edit: May 4, 2007, 3:14pm by David »Link to Post - Back to Top ![]() Guest ![]() « Reply #49 on May 4, 2007, 4:01pm » ![]() ![]() ![]() Link to Post - Back to Top ![]() Senior Member ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() member is offline ![]() I'm back! ![]() ![]() ![]() Joined: Feb 2007 Gender: Male ![]() Posts: 473 Location: Subang Jaya, SS19 ![]() « Reply #50 on May 4, 2007, 9:38pm » ![]() ![]() Link to Post - Back to Top ![]() Senior Member ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() member is offline ![]() I'm back! ![]() ![]() ![]() Joined: Feb 2007 Gender: Male ![]() Posts: 473 Location: Subang Jaya, SS19 ![]() « Reply #51 on May 18, 2007, 5:20pm » ![]() ![]() This image is reduced by 13%, click it to view full size. ![]() The peristome wraped back and hardened, along with colouring up.
