Ali,

Did I see it right, you have a shallow tank with pebbles and shells that you use as a water tray? Please be informed that those shells might leach out calcium and other minerals that might not so good for neps and other CPs. Might make the water hard.

Nice collection. Wow how did a rabbit get to your Bellii? Pet Rabbit?

guys,

The pitcher in ventricosa-red x (inermis x bongso) hardly lasts for two weeks.I know this has something to do with the humidity but is there a way to keep them last longer?

Really hate them to just dry away like that but the viking are also growing together with it but the first pitcher also haven't dry yet so how come?

Usually, if the pitcher dried up prematurely, it's probably due to over fed or may be when it formed it's wasn't well in the first place.

Nice plants by the way

@Ali: nice growing, don't worry about the dry up pitcher as the new one still keep coming right? For each species and hybrids lasting time for pitchers are different. Those you mentioned are off the highlanders parentage, still they are making decent size and normal pitcher at your place, that is a good sign. Why don't you try to fill the pitcher with water, it will last a bit longer.
