Sharing my ampularia basals picture. Plant growing very tall with 3 tall stems. Now having lots of basals.

hey, wanna ask what the secret growing the ampularia? mine with basal shoot easily become black, should i give it a plastic cover? the pitcher that produce just 1cm diameter....

Don't overwater it. Too much water causes smaller pitchers and rather deformed leaves. Otherwise, amps grow fine and are fairly hardy.

i was mixing it 60 sphagnum moss and 40 perlite, so far the pitcher that produce look smaller....will i have large pitcher with low humidity? it was placed at place with less air circulation, receiving bright sunlight from 12 till 3pm, other time will receive lower intensity of light....

nepenthes need some time to acclimatise to new environment... At that time, pitcher will be smaller... You will get bigger and bigger pitcher on the process (with the condition, they are at right environment)

Just give sometime for new plant... Be patient...

wah...a tough thong to me, i never good in growing nepenthes...just managed to grow n.gracilis until it got 3-4cm pitcher...but some time things just din go well and all in sudden, it died and new shoots reappear...do not know the reason causing it, perhaps my place too hot? i am placing it on shaded area...

my judith finn dies,then comes back from the dead via basal shoots, but they never grow and they dont pitcher....its the only one in the grow room that seems stunted, and i have had it over a year...i think i water it too much? dk for sure

[hosh]

Not much to do. Plenty of watering once a day and the occasional black ant into pitchers. My plant came about a foot tall 3 years ago. Had been growing well since, even had to cut of tall vines a few times. Using only sphagmum moss.
