The 140 ppm is the average TDS from different locations where my utility board tested the water. In my location in particular, it measured 50 ppm - 63 ppm, had a PH of 6.8, an Alkalinity of 40 ppm and a Calcium Hardness of 100 ppm. I'm actually considering buying an RO unit for my bathroom...

I recently ran out of Distilled Water and since I cannot drive, I decided to test and see what my local tap water levels were. Here's some of the results: TDS (Membrane Solutions TDS/EC Meter): -50 ppm - 64 ppm (n=6) *denotes how many times the water was tested with the TDS meter. PH...

Thanks for your help. :) I'm a beginner, so this just a more you know moment. Just got to learn from this, take note of it, and expand this to my love of the hobby. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I'm also getting Bayer 3 in 1, alot of people recommended as pretty much an Aphid nuke. The only media I have at the moment is the Mosser Lee LFS and Horticultural Perlite. I hear alot of growers say to avoid Mosser Lee due to quality issues, so I'm going to buy some Besgrow New Zealand LFS or...

Another developing leaf has failed to form. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I will do a spray of Azamax for now during the evening hours when its cooler. I also might cut off that effected growth point to minimize the threat of any potential rot....but it might not be entirely necessary. Thanks for you help, cheers. :) Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Two photos of the effected area of the vine. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

That might be a possibility. My mom helped me with the transplant when removing the Ventrata, and she on the edges of the pot inserted a butter knife to ease in gently removing the plant. It is a possibility that it damaged the root system somehow, but the thing is, this is effecting only one...

I checked the undersides and found nothing. The leaf that is unfurling over the deformed part of the vine has brown cuts all over it. However, three nodes near it are trying to form basal shoots. So maybe it had some sort of damage or it just stopped the vine to form new basal shoots and vines...

I've been noticing over the past few weeks that since I have done a minor transplant on my N. Ventrata, that weird things have been occurring. For one, the very new leaf that was developing, when it opened, it showed a deformed blackened stub where the new stem/leaf would be developing. There is...

Looks like Nepenthes x. Ventrata. I would've expected those poor guys to be dehydrated and brown being in a Home Depot or Lowes. I got my Ventrata from a greenhouse....he has grown quite big....but the pitchers aren't that big yet. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I just went outside to check my N. Ventrata and found that the leaves and pitcher lids are being eaten by an unidentified insect (I think an ant or thrip). Any suggestions to what might be the culprit? Any ways to annihilate the culprit(s)? I'm doing a repotting this weekend since the plant has...
