I've been enjoying your videos. An idea for a future video might be to go over the tools you use in the nursery, as well as pots, trays, fertilizers, pest control, and other equipment. That may not be as exciting to some people as a plant highlight, but I think it could be interesting and useful.
What’s the best way to fertilize my nepenthes? I’ve been using maxsea. Ppm is 165. putting 5 mL of maxsea fertilizer in each of my pitchers every two weeks.
Can you say anything about the temp range you keep these at, for them to grow so beautifully? I come across people keeping them at lowland and intermediate temps.
We try to keep our lowland room above 55F at night, and it's usually 70-90F during the day. Bright, filtered sun all day, occasional fertilizer in the pitchers, and damp soil all the time.
We've been waiting for ours to get a bit bigger before doing a feature. We have also observed a lot more veitchii traits than RC in the specimens we kept.
I love them all but I don't think I've seen a Nepenthes I didn't like. I've noticed in all your videos that the pitchers always appear full. I've read warnings from various sources that if the pitchers are over 1/3 full they can rot. Some sources even say 2 Tbsp at the most. Have you ever had problems with too much water rotting the pitchers? Maybe I'm keeping my pitchers too dry.
I can't say what will work in your specific conditions, but I have absolutely no reason to think that overfilling pitchers causes them to rot. We water overhead a few times a week, which often leads them to being totally full all the time. If your pitchers are dry, it's usually an indication that your soil is too dry and/or the humidity is too low.
Rather than rotting, the more water there is, the more the plant struggles to digest, as the acids get diluted. Filling them fully might also make the pitcher heavier, sometimes bending it. Anyway, both things are not that serious. Their hats are supposed to control that aspect. I know I'm 5 years late, I guess I'm responding to other people with your question ahah
Any tips on getting them to grow large quicker? i have a veitchii Bario and some of those leaves in the video are bigger than the entire plant. It is young of course but I would like to expedite growth with any tips that you might be willing to share, thanks
If you're looking for rapid growth, you can try to grow the plants in bright light and fertilize aggressively. It's usually best to just let them do what they want to do though.
We have a winner! Send me a message through RUclips (Predatory Plants profile -> About -> Message icon) and I'll send you one of our seed-grown veitchii hybrids from a previous cross.
Never contacted me back regarding said "seed-grown veitchii hybrid" and its been over a month. You've posted other videos though and those are always top quality, keep up the good work.
I did reply with my address and even tried to contact you on Instagram, not a big deal. I can re-send my address. Y'all must get a lot of messages and mine just slipped through or something. I can send you a private dm on Instagram showing I replied the first time if it matters. Thanks for the timely reply.
Its nice seeing the my plants parents in a video, all I'm going to say is that I'm super excited for it to grow out more.
Awesome veitchii! Those MT Bario are massive!

Soon. That's another plant that really looks awful for us over the winter. We should have some good ones to show off later this year though.
