Literally the hardest part of growing carnivorous plants is patience😫

[@TheVeggieNerd]

You're blowing my mind! I'm having so much fun with Nepenthes! I just left a comment on your identification video. I have pitchers that are partly dying because I think I exposed them to too cold of weather. I live in Wisconsin so it's not the warmest yet but on some days recently it can get close to 60. I'm so excited to get my first plant outdoors to enjoy the good weather, but I forgot to bring it in one night. Thankfully I have one amazing beautiful pitcher still. Should I overfeed my half-dead pitchers!? You've also taught me that I have my first major leaf working its way into unfolding! You've made me so excited about my plant that I want more of them and I feel too impatient to watch it progress. I want to learn so much! Thank you! I'll keep going.

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Haha thanks for sharing your excitement 😄 If you have a lot of half dead pitchers choose 1 but don't overfeed them all. That could be to much.

[@TheVeggieNerd]

@@WindowsillNepenthes I was a little top excited last night lol. I still have new words swirling my head today. How often do you feed your pitchers? I noticed my good one seems to have a fly inside!

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

@@TheVeggieNerd I use liquid fertilizer once a week. And some Osmocote (or betta fish pellets for small pitcher) from time to time but I doing some test right now.

[@liamscarnivorousplants69]

great video! ive always noticed tho my truncata has grown way faster than that and what people say it does, admittedly its still fairly small but it only takes about a month for the leaf to unfurl. Just as the pitcher on the previous leaf pops the new leaf has fully unfurled i find

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Interesting! A few people with older n. truncata told me it was also super slow for them, that could be why for young plants it's faster...

[@ScaryFear]

80 days. Ouch. Good video. I do everything you do. I even cut the dead tops and yes it makes feeding much easier. I hate seeing dead leaves and pitchers so I always cut. For newer pitchers I give the dilute liquid fertilizer only so I don't kill it right away. That's been working well for me. Truncata is a slow plant. I have one that's faster than my others. Truncata is a weird plant. It's slow, it doesn't vine and it doesn't basal, so that's probably why it's rare in cultivation. Years ago they were more common even in tissue culture but I wonder what happened that you don't see them. They must have lost their cultures. If I ever get pure truncata seeds I'd love to donate a pod or two to a lab to get it back on the market at affordable prices.

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

I knew for the no-vine but I didn't knew that n. truncata don't basal... So that's 2/3 ways of propagation OUT 😵. These is some horticulture-cross of 2 truncata clones. But if you give a seedpod, that's super generous for sure!

[@ScaryFear]

@@WindowsillNepenthes It's extremely rare that truncata would basal. It would take something like trauma (damage to the main vine) for it to basal, or when it is very young like a seedling. I got luck that I bought a seed grown plant and it came with two. I'm waiting for them to get a decent size before I separate them. So something happened in the embryo for that one to have two growth points. I currently have had my biggest truncata growing at an angle trying to force a basal. It's been two months I think and nothing yet.

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

And there is no "dormant nod" between the leaves too... A different species for sure!

[@ScaryFear]

@@WindowsillNepenthes Oh no. I didn't know this. So no place for a new growth point to come out. What an annoying plant. Makes it very hard to survive and propagate.

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Yours are way bigger than mine, but I never saw any dormant nod on mine yet.

[@papsx961]

thx a lot 🥰

[@corywilliamsmith]

I swear my st Gaya grows a new leaf every 3 weeks

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Gaya is fast for sure, especially when it's warm ;)

[@LoStOfMeMoR1]

Thank you for this! 80 days sounds about right for me. However I noticed that mine doesn't start to grow a pitcher until the leaf is fully grown. I recently moved it into a more shaded location because it was getting sunburnt under my Yescomms.

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Interesting 😃

[@DeadlyPlants2024]

I’ve noticed my nepenthes basil cutting has been growing progressively smaller, thinner leaves. When I first cut them from the parent plant, the size of the leaves were doing great. The light conditions , temp. and humidity have been the same.

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

After cutting, they grow roots so they have less energy for the leaves

[@DeadlyPlants2024]

@@WindowsillNepenthes The basils have the original roots I cut the parent plant stem from them.

Hi, love your videos! You realy helped me get back into the hobby (I used to grow lots but stopped for about a year and recently started again). Please could you make a video on nepenthes jacquelineae, it would be very helpful as I can't find much information online. Thanks!

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

I'll do my best. ;) As soon as I fix mine that isn't that happy, I'll do a real review. And glad I helped haha

[@ewanb8067]

Thanks! This will realy help! Hope it gets better soon (Sorry I replied so late, we live in differant time zones Haha).

[@saulcastro381]

I’d love the same kind of video but about the cephalotus follicularis!!!

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Sadly, I'm not an expert on Cephalotus. Mine is fighting a mildew attack right not and I'll change the whole substrate in order to try to get rid of this thing...

[@laknamurage9413]

My small plant produce a leaf once a week. But when it fully developed it took 2 and a half week. My plant is N.Distillatoria.

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

For sure 👍 Keep in mind you have a lowland nepenthes but I have a highland one and HL are way slower, especially in winter. 😅

[@duncanpage1556]

Excellent Vid! just got my small Lowii from Brad, now to watch it grow slowly..lol Good day Remy!

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

I have the same n. lowii and it's SO SLOW!!! Be patient my friend as it's a Marathon.

[@Black_chinese_monster]

@@WindowsillNepenthes so is my nepenthes inermis. Almost been a year and its only made 2 leaves barely making its 3rd No pitchers yet. Its really hard to get these things to pitcher

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

@@Black_chinese_monster It's slow... Let's you have good light, is your inermis getting the 19 - 27°C (66 - 80°F) during the day, and 9 - 17°C (48 - 62°F) at night ?

[@Black_chinese_monster]

@@WindowsillNepenthes during the night they get the drop they need But the day its really random, it could be cold hot or just right. I know how to lower temperature.. but how do you raise temperature? My setup isnt extremely great but its good enough to keep them growing with no problems

[@Black_chinese_monster]

Well really im only lacking consistency. Everything else is fine. What i mean by consistency, i mean humidity and temperature(during the day). Im pretty young so i have school and stuff and sometimes i just dont have time to turn on the humidifier or check the temperature and thats mostly whats making the plants slow down

[@LucasMarcelinos]

Does anybody know if osmocote works with Dionea muscipula and droseras too? I’m struggling to find insects to feed them.

[@elijahsexoticflytraps5573]

Try maxsea

[@adamkesingland968]

Hi Remy, what is the NPK of that Osmocote you use? I bought some black Crickets the other day, that was fun. Cheers Adam

@@WindowsillNepenthes that is what I have but they seemed to stop selling it here in the UK. They sell the cakes that you push into the soil of regular plants way too big for my plants. I have a really small pot left, I passed a bag through a colander so I kept all the small ones and gave the rest to my sister for her regular plants. Adam

[@brycerush98]

I am pretty interested in getting a truncata and/or Lowii, I want to get some with robust woody pitchers, do you know of any others that this is true of?

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

For thick pitchers lowii, ephippiata, truncata are good. If you find it, go for a truncata x lowii. Pure species are so slow 🐌

[@goldengod8275]

ventricosa x lowii. Or most lowii hybrids really

[@HelgrafFireHammer]

I wonder, will feeding your nepenthes also speed up the growth of pitchers, and even make them grow bigger/healthier?

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

I'm running a test on young plants to see if feeding or fertilizing is that efficient. ;)

[@le-auss]

Esque a ton avis la nourriture pour poisson/osmocose pellet est meilleur que des insect en terme de nutriment? Pour L instant je donne seulement des morceau de meal worm/super worm mais je commence à m'intéresser au sujet de la nourriture et leur pour vs contre, mais je ne trouve pas beaucoup d'information à se sujet!

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Je ne sais pas si c'est "meilleur" mais c'est très bien. Je pense que les insectes sont plus naturel donc moins de risque d'overdose pour les pièges. 😉

[@julienvagni3910]

Là Rémi 👍👍👍👌👌👌✌✌✌

[@petermakescartoons]

My small truncata squat x squat is in tropical climate but the summer is still not here so it is still growing slower than a snail. :|

When the weather it good, what is the fastest a leaf grow for you?

[@florianmatejezuk5610]

But you said that if you overfeed the pitchers, the plant wil not grow them anymore because it doesn't need them. How is it?

[@youngdaveey2966]

In my experience this hasn't happened to me yet. I'm guessing you'd have to be really overdoing it.

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

That's for heavy feeding like overfeeding all pitchers + spray + roots. Here I'm only overfeeding 1 pitcher. ;)

@Windowsill Nepenthes very creative! It's true because some nepenthes grow very very slow especially out of their habitat
