🔍 Species Spotlight 😍 Nepenthes veitchii (Easy Nepenthes for Windowsill)

[@estevammachado1004]

Very nice video, on a very nice species... one of my new favorites, not the most beatifull one, but close to it, and with the bonus of being easy to care for outside of a GH or GT ! This "true epiphytic / hemiepiphytic / terrestrial "thing has more to do with the localities... as far as i know lowland varieties(not shown on any of the wikipedia or carnivero pictures, the ones with longer leaves and pitchers, that always vine a lot haha) are mainly epiphytic, while the inter/HL localities such as murud or bario(wikipedia image) are mainly terrestrial. And the maliau basin plants (carnivero picture) are hemiepiphytic. growing on the grownd, but clymbing the threes on a very particular way. And as a note, as far as i know, several people tried to replicate the growing pattern of the maliau basin plants with either bario or LL clones, with no sucess, barios basically dont climb anything, and the lowland plants do climb, but on a "typical"nepenthes style, using the tendrils, and not on that really odd maliau basin`s veitchiis pattern.

Thanks for sharing that knowledge 🙂. I understand better now.

[@milanco767]

your sphagnum moss are insanely gorgeous!

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Thanks 👍 it takes good light, airflow and spray twice a day. 😉

[@CourtneyinSF]

Couldn’t ask for a better spotlight on this species! It was worth the wait, thanks for this!

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

My pleasure 😁 next one will be n. X Briggsiana ;)

[@hibiki88]

I just ordered my first veitchii. Bought it during the Black Friday sale from Carnivero. Can’t wait for it to come in 😬

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Cool! Black Friday is too late in Canada, it's too cold to ship plants safely... Or you have to add heat pad, isolated box, etc. then it's not that much of a money saving 😔

[@hibiki88]

@@WindowsillNepenthes i guess i'm lucky there. i live in dallas just a few hours away from them.

[@DeadlyPlants2024]

My new Veitchii BE 3734 just arrived today. It looks great. I’m so excited to watch it develop and grow.

[@clone2255]

Listening to your videos as I work on making my own nepenthes growroom!!!

[@Wiseexotics]

Excellent video 😊. I have 4 Veitchii types I'm very excited to see progress. It's such a great species, with lots of variety

[@logimx6347]

I really love your veitchii. But there are so many clones. Could you tell me how yours is called please? The brown peristom with the green pitchers look amazing!

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Sure 😁 it's n. veitchii ‘Bario Squat’ - Candy Stripe BE-3734 (Grex 1)

[@tironjr]

Wow! I did'nt know that Veitchii is close to Robcantleyi! Good Video. When you talk about hairy, i have the cross Glandulifera x Veitchii and it is so hairy when the Pitchers start to form.

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Oh yes, glandu, chaniana and other species are hairy too. That makes the ID of their crosses harder tho. ;)

[@tironjr]

@@WindowsillNepenthes yep and the cross with Glandulifera is so beautiful. It is at this size now that the Pitchers start to have Stripes. I can recommend this cross. The Veitchii is more dominant.

[@aquarius5788]

Na endlich, hab drauf gewartet, i Love N.veitchii🥰❤️

[@papsx961]

So now I want to tell you something: IT'S YOUR FAULT!!!😉 that I now have the Veitchii virus and can't get rid of it. Thank you for your videos, even if they are addictive. You have to live with that now ;) But the Veitchiis are so beautiful🥰. thank you for your work. Warm greetings from Germany.😘

welcome to the crew

[@victormartell00]

Hola, tengo una nepenthes Veitchii big mama x white Platychila. Tiene 1.5 años de edad, la puedo poner en akadama como sustrato?

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

If it's in a high humidity setup like a grow tent or greenhouse that should be good. On a windowsill it could dry too fast. ;)

[@victormartell00]

@@WindowsillNepenthes Hoo thanks, which one’s nepenthes is good for akadama soil??

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

@@victormartell00 most of the highland species, especially the demanding ones, villosa, rajah... But I don't grow them and never tried akadama ;)

I’m now just getting into isopods.

[@Saiyajin47621]

Hi my name is belcoth and I love Nepenthes too 😊 I’ve always wonder how this plant is able to climb like those that you’ve shown in the video. Now I know. ❤ Can you share more on how you made the bark wall that you have there?

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

I used some Zoo Med Natural Cork Background: amzn.to/3CYgZMa

[@Saiyajin47621]

@@WindowsillNepenthes thanks 😊. It’s quite costly! 😅

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

@@Saiyajin47621 well, I don't know anything cheaper...

[@Saiyajin47621]

@@WindowsillNepenthes it’s ok. I’ll look around. 😊

[@Insects_jazz]

Can I keep nepenthes in a pot with 100% sphagnum moss?

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

It's possible but not recommended. Be really careful not to water too much because of root rot.

[@braddickie9429]

👍🏼

[@Rainforest_Photo_Tours]

If the plant is a climbing plant and still have roots in the ground it is called semi epiphytes

[@DeadlyPlants2024]

I was wondering my new Veitchii be 3734, it’s a medium size, shouldn’t this plant have stripes?

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

They are really variable, even over time: www.carnivero.com/products/nepenthes-veitchii-bareo-be-3734?srsltid=AfmBOooooXQ6jIYLUEopHSwe_gTurH06wn8jVwU4Cace8Iel-ViUHdNx

[@mjpersona]

Is the veitchii grow nice in a normal house humidity? 40-50%

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

I think so, hairy as it is it should. But try to be closer to 50%. Water tray method helps

[@cajbrg]

I really hate you ... looked at this video lots of time. What beautiful plants. So ... now I'm just trying to buy 3 different plants. N. maxima Wavy x veitchii Bareo, N. veitchii Candy x boshiana, N. veitchii Candy x Candy (both red body)

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Careful you are also becoming an addict 😜

@@WindowsillNepenthes If I'm becoming a addict... then you are my "mental-dealer" ;-) If this veitchii "buy" succeed I have 10 plants that should do well on a windowsill). Nepenthes x briggsiana, N.
