Help please....
Hi Im Toni I'm new to cp's about two months ago I bought a nepenthes x dyeriana and miranda. I have acclimated them to the sun and now I have them under a shade cloth, I've been noticing that my N. miranda's leaves is getting smaller and smaller and the N. x dyeriana's leaves is big but the pitcher is smaller than the old one, I wonder what im doing wrong?could it be because of humidity?or too much sun(its 32 degrees outside)I'm worried because I dont want them to die. I have them potted in coco peat, bark and perlite and water them with distilled water every two days. |

A note on your growing media, a mixture of coco peat and perlite itself is sufficient for most nepenthes. I'm not sure about adding bark to the medium, might be great if you want to use the media for growing orchid. But in my opinion, it serves no purpose for nep... |
