N. Hamata TC Wistuba clone 3, despite nearly almost going to the grave, it rebounded, and put out 3 leaves in a month and is inflating 3 pitchers

This plant is quite vigorous!!! I got it back in September, and it has since opened 2 pitchers, inflating a 3rd, and opening yet another leaf

[Grey Moss]

Very, very nice plants.

 

[Dimka]

Looking very good there!

 

[jimscott]

You're doing very well! Is LFS just the top dressing?

 

[SirKristoff]

Lfs is the top dressing for all but the heliamphora, which is pure lfs and a little bit of perlite.

 

[Tony Paroubek]

You need to pull out the reeds from the sphagnum pronto. It is nasty stuff that will turn your pot into a solid brick of roots in no time short. They will suck the water and life out of your CP's...

 

[SirKristoff]

Yeah I've been working on it. Its a pain for sure. I hate dried lfs sometimes. Lol

 

[JMurphy97]

If the LFS is a top dressing what's the rest of your mix? Everything is looking nice.

 

[SirKristoff]

It varies. If you look at the glabrat experiment thread, I posted what I use for my mix primarily.

 

[Capensis]

They grow up so fast

They're loving that grow rack! Can't wait for more updates

 

[theyellowdart]

Woah, I guess I forgot to comment in here!
Anywho...
Great plants and pictures. Like others have said, I can't wait for updates.

how do you get humidity so high?
what is the design of the "door" to you rack?

 

[SirKristoff]

The growrack is a simple cold frame from lowes, runs at around 30-40 dollars I think. It comes with a plastic greenhouse cover with a zip open door. I ziptied the lights to the bottom of the shelves, 4x 24" 20watt fluorescent lights on the nep rack, and only 2 on the ping and drosera rack, there are also some utrics on that rack. The trays for the pings and dews are filled with an inch of water, which is heated by the lights below on the nep rack, and the lights above causing the humidity to rise, and I have a small desk fan in there to circulate air. temps in the day are at average, around 75F and at night, around 50F. I have a box fan in my bedroom window that I use to pull the cold air in from outside, cooling down my room and growrack. I run my lights from 6am to 10pm.
