newbie August 29th, 2009, 06:32 PM Your nepenthes is very beautiful. Do you grow them with your paphs?
Justin August 29th, 2009, 07:50 PM very healthy plants!
Paphy57 August 29th, 2009, 08:28 PM Your nepenthes is very beautiful. Do you grow them with your paphs?
I do. They grow great alongside phrags like besseae and water loving phrags. I set it in a tray of water and mist it every so often since I have low humidity. They just need either RO or Distilled water.
Paphraguy August 29th, 2009, 08:30 PM I think the pitcher plants would do great with Paphs since they are also native to Borneo as most Paphs are from.
Paphraguy August 29th, 2009, 08:34 PM What do you feed your pitcher plants anyway? :lol: Do you catch bugs for the pitchers or do you just feed them plant food/fertilizer?

Fertilizer or plant food would kill them. They like a medium with no nutrients. To be honest, they do just fine without any extra food (bugs), but they catch gnats and sometimes I will put an ant inside one of the pitchers.

That is very interesting to know that fertilizer and plant food would kill them! Do they make flowers?

newbie August 30th, 2009, 02:12 PM Is that bouganvillea a bonsai plant? It looks like it is planted in a bonsai pot.
Tom S August 30th, 2009, 04:05 PM Beautiful plants!
Thanks for sharing!
Tom Velardi August 30th, 2009, 06:19 PM Nick, nice to see you can grow good pitchers on your Nepanthes - they never formed well for me when I tried them in Florida. Do you grow it inside all year round?
dragonfly22 August 30th, 2009, 06:56 PM Great looking plants. The Nepanthes is very well grown!
Paphy57 August 30th, 2009, 09:06 PM Is that bouganvillea a bonsai plant? It looks like it is planted in a bonsai pot.
Yes it is. I prefer growing the bougainvillea as bonsai since then they don't grow the nasty thorns.

I grow them in the GH all year long. They form pitchers very nicely for me.
