[@Carnivorousplanthelp]

They are absolutely amazing!!!

[@dicapriodiamond2077]

Hey buddy, great video as always 😊 what fans are you using in your tent? Also could you list me a few big Nep breeds? I live in NZ and its so damn impossible to find these beauties haha! Cheers mate

[@Carnivorousplanthelp]

Hey!!! I’m just using basic house fans, nothing fancy. I have a box fan that sits on the end and pushes the air and one more smaller fan up top that helps just keep the air moving. If you are looking for big nepenthes, hybrids are the way to go. You can get large species like Truncata but some of the other large ones like rajah are super picky to grow and expensive. I recommend anything with Merrilliana in it. Caesar, Brutus, Merr x Sibuyanensis, lowii x Truncata, Ephippiata x Truncata

Do you use small portions of osmocote in the water?

[@ferardabbas8426]

Sorry..what was the name of the feeding pellets used please

[@Carnivorousplanthelp]

Hey!! No need to be sorry. I use osmocote pellets

[@mrcrawlingstv]

Besides apisto nepenthes what are 5 of the smallest species?

[@Carnivorousplantsaus]

Nepenthes argentii, nepenthes talengensis, nepenthes tenuis, nepenthes jamban, nepenthes belli. Btw this is from what I know not an actual list I just know they small

[@Carnivorousplanthelp]

Yes, I was going to give the same list!! Also Campanulata, and maybe Mikeii as a runner up

[@Carnivorousplanthelp]

Great list!!

Have you ever paid attention to this "Vapor Pressure Deficit" thing (VPD)? My digital Vivosun Hygrometer/Thermometer has this value displayed on its monitor. When I try to look into this VPD thing I find basically nothing useful at all... unless I want to grow dope/pot. I now know what VPD actually means, and it does make a lot of sense, however. Does it have any real worth in growing Nepenthes pitcher plants, or is it just a tool used by those who are hard core horticultural "Cheech & Chong" followers?

[@Carnivorousplanthelp]

Hmmm, I haven’t paid attention to that. I will have to research it and see. My first thought is that it wouldn’t impact nepenthes however it would be interesting to study and see.
