Hi Christer,

Cheers Joachim

Hi,

and thanks. The plant is doing alright, new leaves and pitchers at a steady rate, but it hasn't increased in size for some months now. It is only approx. 20 cm i diameter. It started a basal rosette earlier this spring and it has already started to rival the mother plant. It is over 15 cm in diameter right now, so it looks very promising.

Although it grows well some of the leaves have red spotting and patches that looks like they have been burned.

Regards,

Christer

Christer, what kind of potting medium are you using for the northiana?

 

[christerb]

Hi DragonGoby,

Sorry for the late answer, I have been away for a couple of days.

Anyways, it's been some years since I potted it and with this species I strayed away from my usual medium (live sphagnum), but if I remember correctly I used one part each of peat moss, quartz sand and perlite. The soil is topped with sphagnum moss. I grow mine in a terrarium with high humidity so the soil doesn't dry out to fast, because the medium is rather open with good drainage.

Regards,

Christer
