How much water need lowland nepenthes 🌵 Interview David's from Hawaii - Part 2

[@funnykitsune]

Both the videos in this interview are extremely informative! I loved David's calm approach, it was very soothing. The entire series of interviews is great, but this specific fellow was my favorite so far.

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Yes, David has so much to share 😀

[@davideickhoff2954]

Mahalo!

[@davideickhoff2954]

Mahalo nui loa Remy for the great opportunity to share these uniquely designed carnivorous plants.

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Thanks to you for sharing with the rest of us :)

[@teixeir3]

It's super useful to see the species specific tips

[@Gehrungs_Greenhouse]

I let all of my neps go bone dry before watering, no root rot here🤩

[@JoseGarcia-hk9se]

He grows tentaculata in lowland conditions?

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Yes, on Tom's Carnivores website you can read: "N. tentaculata is found at elevations of between 400 and 2550 meters." So there is lowland ones.

[@Cacti_Of_Mexico]

This is making me want lowland soooo bad!!! But I only have a highland setup😢😢😢

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

On my interview with Gianne, she arranged a small part of her tent to accommodate lowlanders ;)

[@Gehrungs_Greenhouse]

I grow bical and amp with villosa and macrophylla you got this

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

@@Gehrungs_Greenhouse how long did you do that? I'm concerned about the health evolution overtime as they don't grow at the same condition in the wild.

[@Gehrungs_Greenhouse]

@@WindowsillNepenthes about a year now, it pitchers every leaf and has no stress on the leaves either, I have plans to just grow it on my windowsill here soon

[@davideickhoff2954]

😂 Hahaha, I want to make a highland growing area!

[@szanar8422]

I just got my first bicalcarata and almost killed it because I let the humidity drop from 99% to 60% for 3 hours which made it wilt and lose all its pitchers 💀 I keep it in a jar lol

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Could it be a combination of low humidity and temperature?

[@szanar8422]

@@WindowsillNepenthes I keep the jar near the heater so the temperature is always around 23-26°C. I'm a total beginner plus I live in Poland so it's really difficult to replicate the conditions for a lowland nep. It's silly, but I really wanted the bicalcarata because it looks badass on the t-shirt I got from your store🤠 I hope it's not plant abuse. Keep up the good work!!

[@HyeonsikLi]

@@szanar8422 I have a truncata and hope the same doesnt happen to me lol. But i doubt it. Tho my humidty can fluctuate a lot from 92% down to 40%.

[@szanar8422]

@@HyeonsikLi truncatas are awesome and pretty resilient so I wouldn't worry about it too much, they don't need crazy high humidity like extreme lowlanders (bicalcarata). Update: my bicalcarata feels great in the jar and pushes out pretty big pitchers with little fangs they're so cute
