Hi everyone!
I recently decided to get a Nepenthes x ventrata but before purchasing one I'd like to ask if these living conditions/environment would be good for it ?
- Sunlight during Winter : 2-3 hours direct sunlight, 4-6 hours bright indirect sunlight , 3-5 hours dim sunlight
- Sunlight during Spring/Spring : 4-6 hours direct sunlight, 6-8 hours bright indirect sunlight , 4-5 hours dim sunlight
- Humidity : 50% minimum humidity (usually 55%, very rarely drops below that) , 58-65% average humidity , 75% max humidity (humidity is often between 60% and 70%)
- Temperatures during winter : 13°c to 17°c (55°F to 62°F) during night, 15°c to 25°c (59°F to 77°F) during daytime
- Temperatures during summer : 11°c to 20°c (51°F to 68°F) during night, 20°c to 41°c (68°F to 105°F) during daytime
- Soil mix : 40% peat moss, 40% perlite, 20% pine bark
Also I'd like to ask, are they climbers ? would they run up/climb on a bamboo rod or something which is there for them to climb on ? And if yes what is the best item to give them to climb on ?
Also I know their roots should never sit in water, but it's okay if their tray/plate has some water in it if their roots is above water level ? How long it would take for them to recover from the effects of transport and do I need to give them something special after transport ?
I read a lot about them but I couldn't find an obvious answer to these questions.
Edit : Added temperatures in F° too.
