Thank you for making this one I was only able to keep this one growing in a Ten gallon tank after it out grew it she began to fade away definitely miss her. 😢🍃🍃🍃🍃🐜🐜🐜
Lovely plant. Bicals are cool. they do get huge. I'd love to see a video showing how to repot giant plants and what media you use. I know it's the same sphagnum mix but I just want to see how you store it in bulk. I have a few big plants that I keep in 10 or 12 inch pots and it's hard to come across that much sphagnum. So I dread repoting, or replacing media every two years. But perhaps you have a better way.
I love this one long long time ago, but can’t buy it, because it is always “sold out”. And today, I will receive one from a nursery, it’s on the way. But after I watch your video about this one, I wonder I can keep it, because I don’t have a green house. Loved your video ❤️ and thank you so much for sharing this information.
@@brandonpollard8928, you must know the scientific name. If you just got it somewhere, chances are whatever you have is probably a hybrid that can grow as a lowland, midland or highland plant. Also, there's only a few that are commonly sold. If you have one, take a few pictures of it and upload them to a forum so someone can identify it for you. You may also look for the most common hybrids in cultivation and compare those pictures with the plant you have. Good luck!
This one is about 10+ years old. But they can get much larger at a small size. Keep in mind we moved a few years ago and everything took awhile to settle!
I have one of these plants, but it's quite small in comparison to yours! Do they grow quickly in your experience? Mine is about 2 quarters across in size, and it's pushing out just over one new leaf per month. You have a beautiful specimen!
It's been just under a year since this comment, and I'm proud to say my bical is now just over 15cm across, quite a big difference from the slightly under 5cm width last year! It's not a super fast grower, but it's doing well and has some very nice pitchers :) Thanks Dom for all your videos, they've helped me care for this plant much better than I would have otherwise!
@dodopuipui1440 Yep, unfortunately I left it unattended under a grow light that was a little too low, and it burned and died :( The rest of the carnivores are doing well though!
@@redleafexotics4722 Hey Dom, thanks for the reply! I guess I meant the bromeliad at 0:09 that is very long and tall with green/grey(?) and white splotches.
These plants are awesome I have few plants. But they don't produce pitchers for a long time even though they produced flowers few times. Will these do fine in a cocopeat media placed out of direct sun
Usually, short pitcher life is related to too low of humidity. They should do fine in coco peat. They grow under the forest canopy in shade in the wild. Direct sun us never recommended unless it’s really early morning. Thanks
We haven’t used it, but I’m sure it can produce results. Experimenting is key to mastering anything. Let us know how it goes. 50/50 long fiber sphagnum and perlite. Thanks Ryan!
I dont agreed with shady condition. Bical loves a ton of sunlight, they even love blasting direct sunlight in here Kalimantan, at very Hot season they produce huge leaf and huge redish greeny pitcher
Maybe in the wild, yes. In our greenhouses they would burn up with full sun. Shade is best for us. What works in the wild doesn’t always hold true to cultivation. I bet they are glorious in their natural home:)
Yes i think n.bicalcarata is quite a hardy species and can actually withstand full sun exposure. In fact it's the only way i've managed to get mine to pitcher again after months of just growing leaves and failed pitchering. Although they did get some degree of sunburn and older leaves were reddish and limp, i realized that it was also contributed to underwatering and as soon as i changed the watering (basically kept it in a pool of water, semihydro style) to replicate the swampy habitat, green healthy leaves start growing one after the other with successful pitchering, and i can see those long gone fangs again! Happiness is simple! ☺️
This !! Absolutely endemic and more in my city, Putussibau. West Kalimantan ,Its swamp forest
I want to come there and get swampy! Let’s find some!
I’ve grown these very well in Hawaii because it’s so tropical and humid!
I had one in a huge plastic box couple years ago. I miss it so much
They are really cool plants! Sorry it’s no longer with you!
Thank you for making this one I was only able to keep this one growing in a Ten gallon tank after it out grew it she began to fade away definitely miss her. 😢🍃🍃🍃🍃🐜🐜🐜
Sorry! They grow fast! Bical needs a big enclosure that’s for sure!
Im a simple guy, i see your video i click
😎
Those pitcher plants are gorgeous! I cannot take care of them lol so I'll love them from a distance
Finally, a species that i have! Damn my bical has struggled alot. Thanks for showing this, you made my day.
You’re welcome! They take awhile to settle and grow. Good luck:)
Dom
These species specific video's are great!
Thank you:)
These are my favorite and I want one so bad in the future

We will have to make a vid repotting something huge. We just did our big northiana. Didn’t film tho! Lol more to come. Thanks💚
@@redleafexotics4722 Oh awesome. I'm sure you have other big plants. I'm glad you liked my idea.
I've got some seeds coming my way and I hope to grow this guy. By the way, thanks for showcasing it so well!
Awesome! You’re welcome:)
Where did you buy the neps seeds? Thanks
Exotic seed emporium.
can you do a video on alata 'giant' x truncata?
Not sure we held on to any of those! 😬
@@redleafexotics4722 damn, what shame

Always try! Heat, shade, high humidity!
And you’re welcome :)
@@redleafexotics4722 Oh yeah, I try. Thank you 😊
Strange and beautiful species
Whaaaaaa?😍😍 So neat
Luv mine its doin great got it from a awesum source {you} great vid keep it up 3 thumbs up
Thanks David! Love seeing your plants thrive!
Did you really get caught fencing stolen plants?
I love this nepenthes but I only grow highland nepenthes.
Highlanders are my favorite :)
Is there a way to tell if it is Highland or lowland without knowing the species is there something about the nepenthes that you can identify with

Haah....
I has the same species......
I'm from Malaysia
Had made few cuttings last week.
Can you give us the ages of your plants so we can dream of ours in time
This one is about 10+ years old. But they can get much larger at a small size. Keep in mind we moved a few years ago and everything took awhile to settle!
@@redleafexotics4722 10 years OMG we have a long way to go Nepenthe will rule my life soon 🙌🏾
@@brandonpollard8928 they could grow as tall as tree with very” wide long leaf like Banana tree

@@navidfarkhondehpay1142 any update for 2023?
@dodopuipui1440 Yep, unfortunately I left it unattended under a grow light that was a little too low, and it burned and died :(
The rest of the carnivores are doing well though!
What is the bromeliad in the bottom right corner at 0:08?
Anthurium warocqueanum:) An aroid favorite!
@@redleafexotics4722 Hey Dom, thanks for the reply! I guess I meant the bromeliad at 0:09 that is very long and tall with green/grey(?) and white splotches.
@@williamkrut91 I don't know if it helps but it is one of his carnivorous bromeliads
@@williamkrut91 oh! Ha! Quesnelia marmorata :)

Bet you dont have campanulata
I don't know why my bicalcarata pitcher stop produce nectar
I think nepenthes bicalclarata the most beautiful of all, but i don't find to buy ☹
Awww! I love this♥♥♥♥
If I was to use bat guano as a supplemental fertilizer that would be sufficient being that there insect eaters?also what's your soil ratio?
We haven’t used it, but I’m sure it can produce results. Experimenting is key to mastering anything. Let us know how it goes. 50/50 long fiber sphagnum and perlite.

It would help if you spelled it correctly. N. bicalcarata.
My Bical grow so slow, I don't know how they are supposed to be fast grower right?
