hang them

just to share with everyone, if space was your problem...mount the neps on fern barks or woody branches wrapped with sphagnum moss. sometimes neps were found in the wild to grow on moss pads of tree trunks and branches, with little nutrients except on incoming wind laden with moitsure, thus my idea of replication.

Good work.Mr.Robert.I have tried with some neps overgrowing ferns with their thick roots but so far fine.After sometime,the whole pot will be full of fern roots mixed with nep roots..

Thanks for sharing Robert, was thiking of growing veitchii by sticking it on a tree branch... but I like your method because is more "mobile"

haha, my nepenthes gracilis also grow like that, but i was growing it with a bird nest fern, it got a lot of roots which sucks a lot of water, and could provide shade for it, so far it growing so well,and my nepenthes did got a lot of babies growing at the base....

Wow....but how do you repot it??

[allenphoon]

if plant like that, i will never think of report them, because all of the media was organic to it, and it's size will getting larger and larger, which means more free space for them....this is what i thought...haha

[plantlover]

Wow, that's a good idea!

[funkychips]

Thanks for sharing this idea, Robert!! I have one fusca x veitchii and a spare fern bark chunk, will tie together this week and post some updates here too!!

That is an awesome idea;the roots continually grow, which is the soil xD but doesnt that mean you would have to watch the roots like a hawk to see if its damp? eh, Ill stick to vermiculite, no mold or rot, and doesnt compact as much as wet sphagnum. i would still try and pick a good sized mound of roots, because, in my experience with vigorous species like sanguinea, there roots will actually get quite bigger and more extensive than other species=)

How well i can keep, will see how it goes. So far so good . I fine mist it in the morning, noon, evening and keep it under cool shade with indirect sunlight.
