Window Experiment (DUW)

[Monkey]

So, how low can the humidity be for sturdy neps? My conditions are like 20% humidity most of the time.

My humidity also hovers around 20% maybe a bit more. Light is more important than humidity when it comes to most hardy neps.

Same here - since I started keeping neps, I haven't added supplemental humidity to them at all and grow them very hard. The only thing that ever changed was light levels, and the more light you give them, the more they'll pitcher for you (unless you're burning them already ).

Here's a small update to ring in the spring season and increased light. My neps have already noticed the longer days, hopefully I'll get some really nice pitchers this summer!

N. sanguinea

N. spectabilis x aristolochioides

woweee!! That ventrata is huugee!! The lady pauline is amazing too, I really want!

 

[Wire Man]

The ventrata is unbelievable! I've brought home a monster.... The Lady Pauline looks amazing, such a deep red peristome. The utric looks good!

My Nepenthes didn't look half this good on my windowsill!

Nice windowsill growing! Here in Malaysia, it's really really hard to grow neps on windowsills. The sunlight is just intense for the entire day.......

N ventrata is really a super fast grower. Did you try miranda and dyeriana?
