Toothy Nepenthes Update

[@yingg.6051]

Thanks for sharing this video, I adore both of your truncata x edwardsiana! I love large, toothy and fuzzy pitchers, and this gave me the final push to purchase a small one today

[@cooper9658]

Interesting to hear you can grow hamata x edwardsiana intermediate! What day/night temps does your intermediate grow space have?

[@Viridoviperas]

Really nice plants, especially the macrophylla! Thanks for sharing :-)

[@Anonymouss222]

How do they grow so big!???😳

[@russellyoung3216]

Nice! Maybe you could do a care video on your Truncata x Edwardsiana because I just ordered one and I am slightly clueless😂

[@nevadanepenthes438]

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.

Can i hold a macrophyla at 4 degree drop because i See yt Videos where they do it and plant dont See sick

[@nevadanepenthes438]

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

[@Villosa64]

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.

[@markcoutts1796]

Firstly great plant's, really like those! Secondly what's the most likely cause of my plant's growing smaller pitcher's - would that be not quite enough light? They are perfectly formed but just half the size of the pitcher's they came with which is really annoying.

[@nevadanepenthes438]

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.

Love the mini drosera in the pots

[@jossue9120]

Those plants are highlanders?

[@nevadanepenthes438]

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