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

[allenphoon]

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...

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.

but the shoots that appear from the on the basal turn black...still not sure what happen to it...
bad news, the new puppy in my house get interested in the pitcher and bite it, all pitcher is either just left a bit or entirely pulled out, had punnished it by keep hitting it until my fingers so pain, so hate it!! why it just do not listen even though i already warned it for more than 9times.....
Got one left, the damaged one had put it in a plastic...hope will be recovering soon...:un sure:
