Experience of N.vogelii

[Simon Goh]

hi there,

I've been facing difficulty to grow this species even other HL species are doing fine within the same area. The plant just keep producing new leafs without any pitcher for the past 3months+.

Currently, I am using 100% spag. moss for medium & temp within +/-25dc with 18hrs light.

Anyone can advice?

Thanks in advance.

also got a vogelii recently. so far, leaves seem to be getting smaller. too early to comment but if my plants survive and put out new leaves, i will be happy!!!

Haha... seems I'm not the only one having problem growing N. vogelii. Mine produces tiny pitchers, the newer leaf seems bigger but not sure about how the pitcher size will turn out to be...

I think it would be very helpful if we post some pics of the our vogelii to compare. I assume your's from BE ??

[soonsuseong]

yes, mine is from BE. but it is too miserable looking to be photograph for now..... pathetic looking thing!

I'm guessing all our N. vogelii will be looking miserable , that's why we have to figure out what's wrong and grow them well so it'll look stunning.

It's just to compare notes and exchange info so we all can learn from each other...

for me N. vogelii is a very easy and fast grower. My plant make really nice and big pictures.
I grow it in my highland trailer also typical highland climate. Maybe a bit to cold but the plant seems to like it

Guys,
As far as i know,this sp. is an intermediate so you should provide it wit a bit cooling for it to do well.

N. vogelii can be found between 1200-1500m in elevation. (Pitcher Plants of Borneo by A. Phillips, A. Lamb and C.C. Lee)

Thanks for the info, I guess we were all hoping as an intermediate, N. vogelii will be a little forgiving when growing in LL condition. Oh well... mine is still a seedling.

My vogelii currently look like this, aside from tiny pitcher, it's growing slowly but ok.
