    Do different Nepenthes species require distinct watering routines?

    That is my understanding too, that we don't always have to replicate what plants experience in nature in order to keep them happy in cultivation. Thank you very much for your comments. Do you know if there is any list available showing which species like more or less water and moisture?

    Do different Nepenthes species require distinct watering routines?

    Hi everyone, As far as I know, Nepenthes are found in a variety of habitats, with some lowland species living in somewhat boggy conditions while other species ocurr in constantly humid but never truly wet mountain sides and then you have pyrophyte species being exposed to fire and drought. So...

    Andrew's guide to growing Heliamphora in the desert

    Thank you very much for the reply! So it seems that temperature rather than humidity might be a bigger stress factor in my case. I'll try moving my plant a bit away from the sun, since it's a few degrees cooler in the shade, and keep an eye on it for the next several days/ weeks. If it doesn't...

    Andrew's guide to growing Heliamphora in the desert

    That's really interesting! And very relevant to my current experiment. I'm trying to bring my heterodoxa x minor out of the terrarium and into windowsill conditions, but it seems to be struggling a bit.

    Looking For (To Buy) Genlisea seeds

    I see! How come? They don't produce seed readily? Or is it simply easier to propagate them vegetatively?

    Nepenthes leaves looking weird (burnt?)

    Thank you for the suggestions! The media is a peat-based mix with perlite and burnt rice husks. That's not my usual choice Nepenthes, but seemed to be working fine (until now??) Sounds like a good idea to flush the pot and check the water TDS. I'm going to try that! Any chance these symptoms...

    Nepenthes leaves looking weird (burnt?)

    Hi everyone! I have a couple of Nepenthes seedlings (about 1 year old) which are growing next to each other on separate pots. They are complex lowland hybrids, all from the same batch of seeds. Recently some of them started showing yellowish and burnt-looking leaves, while others seem to be...
