There are a few different methods of propagating nepenthes, such as growing from seed, rooting cuttings, and tissue culture. To be honest, I know very little about the process, but tissue culture involves using a piece of tissue, such as a seed and cloning in a lab to make many plants that are genetically identical.

I'm not sure how old it was when I got it but I've had it for a year or so, and it's a slow grower, but not nearly as slow as I expected.

@@nevadanepenthes438 nice

I use long fibered sphagnum and perlite. I just eyeball the mix, probably around 50/50 I used to use orchid bark, and it works well, but it breaks down a bit faster.

My Macrophylla has pretty much always had days of 70-80F, with nights of 55-60F. I'm hesitant to say it can't be done, because some growers will prove me wrong I'm sure. But with ultrahighland plants, often you won't notice the plant dying until its too late. They will look perfectly healthy, and then rapidly decline. If you are dead set on a Macrophylla, then give it the best temp drop you can and hope for the best. If you want teeth but don't have highland conditions, intermediate edwardsiana hybrids would be a great option. Good luck! :)

@@nevadanepenthes438 thank you very much for this info

itll be fine for a few months and/or as a small plant. as it gets older, itll throw a hissy tantrum if it doesnt get what it wants.

Thank you :) Yes 48x48x80 inches

I do not. I mist it roughly every other day, it's an enclosed system so the humidity just comes from the moisture in the pots, along with the occasional misting

@@nevadanepenthes438 thank you 👍

It sits at room temperature. :)

Both of mine seem to be pretty handy plants, growing well intermediate. Let it get a little bit dryer between waterings, not bone dry though. They don't like to he too wet.

@@nevadanepenthes438 Thanks! I know the reply is late and I'm on a different account, but the plant arrived well, sulked for a year and has just now produced its first trap in my care. The trap isn't as toothy as the pitchers it already had, but I expected that. It's in a mix of sphagnum and perlite, but I want to change it to coco chips because sphagnum either stays too wet or too dry.

Thank you :)

@@nevadanepenthes438 how your set Up works?

@@jossue9120 It maintains its own conditions. I used to use a small humidifier, but there are enough plants now that they keep their own hiding high. I have 2 small fans and some LED lights inside. Temperatures are just room temperature

@@nevadanepenthes438 thank you for sharing your plants with us

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed :)

Could be a number of things, lighting would be my first guess, but if it's a newer plant (one you've gotten within the past couple months) it could also just be adjusting to your conditions.

Some of them are, some are more intermediate. Hamata, Macrophylla, and hamata x edwardsiana are probably the only 3 I'd call highlanders

Hey sorry, just saw this. Honestly how often I water varies quite a bit. Most get water every 3 days or so, but it depends on how fast the individual plant is drying out. Keeping live sphagnum has always been pretty tricky for me too. For that exact reason. I let my plants get too dry for the sphagnum, but after awhile some moss starts to take hold. I just water them all by hand. Highland plants usually go a bit longer between watering as well It's easier to keep moss in the freezer because it's always cool and humid, but it won't grow on some pots.

I keep mine indoors year round. Unfortunately northern Nevada isn't the best for them.

did it die?

@@Villosa64 still is hanging on my other one has grown three times the size got them both at the same time ..I can see green on the little one. They both are under a grow light and have a cool humidifier..

@@ZazuBirdandMe dam

@@Villosa64do you grow Villosa? I have seen you comment on other videos and I always wonder if you grow Villosa because of your name.

@@Cacti_Of_Mexico no i have 3 edwardsianas, im not going to attempt villosa anytime soon. Heard too much issues about its care and speed, tho it’s beautiful

Thanks 😊 I've also wondered if there may be some sort of stress reaction that shocks the plant into growing, but like you say, as long as they are growing happy, I'm happy.

Thank you! I've ordered from them before and was very happy with the plants I got.

The largest one? That one was ordered from red barn carnivores

I am looking forward to that day and absolutely dreading it 🤣 I really thought I'd get a few years of use at least, but a year down the road and here we are.

Thank you! Yours are beautiful as well

Thank you! All of lights are white yescom 225s

Much appreciated!

All of my lights are white Yescoms. They are fairly cheap on Amazon

Most intermediate species and hybrids can do pretty well on a windowsill. Veitchii and truncata are two that are pretty durable, as are their hybrids. Nepenthes Suki is an awesome plant for the windowsill as well. Impressive size, nice color, fast growing, and quite cheap. And thanks so much, I'm glad you enjoy it!

Yeah I'm familiar with that channel, one of my hybrids is actually from him, brads greenhouse has done a similar setup as well. I've had mine for about a year without issue. I had one thermostat stop working, but I use two thermostats so it wasn't really an issue. Other than that there haven't been any problems.
