We were rejects from the latest BE order in July

[Cindy]

N. campanulata




...but we actually have got good potential.

Some background...these N. campanulata plants were the "leftovers" because the growth tips have turned black. I potted them straight into burnt earth and in 2.5 months, they each produced three new leaves.

Cindy, 2.5 months for three new leaves is impressive. I think you've found the perfect media for campanulata in your growing conditions. Maybe I should repot my campanulata to burnt earth too.

Yep, if ever a couple pictures were worth a few thousand words - these are them!

[Akirasama]

any idea where to get burnt earth in area kl?

my campanulater seems not really happy with LFM

[bifurcatum]

I grow my campanulata in 100% LFS. And it's doing well and pitchering.

Nice !! Now have to get me a campanulata

Hi Cindy

Now its really tempting me to try on more difficult and more beautiful plants.3 leaves in 2 and a half months is rather a lot my plants approximately makes only about 1 leaf per month for a reject its pretty fast growing.Like u said they have good potential.

I have the same qeustions as Akirasama where to get burnt earth in KL???Or any other media whcih is good for neps i now only use 100% LFS....."cheap LFS"..maybe peat would be nice to

Here in northern Malaysia, burnt earth or sometime lable as "burnt soil" (not the black color type) can be easily found in local nursery, also used for bonzai. ~rm2.00 to rm2.50 per bag.

Is it the red color soil that contain the some red color stone inside?

One thing I want to confirm is, is it burnt earth or burnt soil called 火烧泥 in chinese？ Thank you
