Some of my young nep pics

Robert,

Your plants are very well taken care and they look almost flawless. Great job. Your place must be cool at night looking at how the sphagnum moss thrive in yoru Nepethes pots. Humidity and sunlight must be perfect.

Can share some pictures of your growing area? I want to learn. My plants do not look as great as yours.

David,

Thanks for your kind words. I try to make do of what's available for me to grow the neps. The humidity at my place fluctuates from 55%-95% according to the season and wind. Most of my neps are grown under a 50% shade cloth with photo period from sun rise till about 3pm.

I guess the secret to successfully grow LSM is to water it at least twice a day (I think TS mentioned about this before if I'm not mistaken).... and mist it when able. I think it's actually more work taking care of the LSM when growing them together with nep in L/L conditon and in tropical weather.

I'll share some pics of my growing area when I manage to take some pics.

Hi Oat,
I think you collection is more impressive with H/L and L/L nep species... Mine just some regular L/L neps...

Anyway, I used 70% burnt clay : 20 % perlite : 10% coco chips for N. madagascariensis. As far as I observe, I found this nep took a while to acclimitise to my new growing condition. Once it's settled down, it'll start growing with 1-2 new pitcher per month. My plant is still fairly young, still need to observe more.
