🌱 Nepenthes on a Windowsill 🌸 late spring update 2023

[@paulfityo1]

Great stuff Remy!

[@AmoghChakrapani]

Ive just started keeping nepenthes and have around 4-5 nepenthes. Hope my collection expands as i live in India and great nepenthes Remy❤

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

India? You should be able to grow more lowland than me ;)

[@AmoghChakrapani]

I have a bloody mary which is lowland and it should start pitchering soon. Some of its old leaves are having discolouration. The ppm in the RO here is around 75-100

[@zect556]

@@AmoghChakrapani I started with Nepenthes Miranda, an easy intermediate. Now I have around 12 different species. the rest are propagated from basal cuttings.

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

@@AmoghChakrapani should work :) just make sure it gets 50% humidity or more.

[@AmoghChakrapani]

@@WindowsillNepenthes The average humidity here is around 55-60% and doesn’t go below 25%

[@HelgrafFireHammer]

Beautiful plants! You got a great collection :) I got a Briggsiana, funnily enough its doing better than my Ventrata lol, every leaf is making a pitcher and new leafs start out with an orange colour and a red spine, but over time the leaf slowly turns Green whule the spine stays red. Got a Mollis x Veitchii comming in from Wistuba later this month, gonna put it alongside my Briggsiana, hopefully itll enjoy the conditions :)

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

I feel like ventrata really like it hot, and even for me my Briggsiana was doing better because on my night temperature. I wish you the best with the mollis x veitchii ;)

[@HFeyn]

That robmollis is hooooot.

[@Kyddoemiko13]

Most excellent Remy your window sill is spectacular 🍃🍃🤓🍃🍃

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Thanks! :)

[@yutsukio]

what humidity level do you have in there? your plants are lovely btw

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Between 50% and 65% humidity right now. :)

[@yutsukio]

@@WindowsillNepenthes thanks!

[@florianmatejezuk5610]

Hi Remy! What pot size do you use for the big ones? (inch, liters)

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

The big ones are 5 inches square. ;)

[@sophiatedaldi4436]

How do you keep algae from growing on your sphagnum moss?

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

It's in an open room, with normal airflow, so the algae don't grow. And the live sphagnum moss grow fast. :)

[@CeruleanMufasa]

Just curious how may Neps do you own currently?

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Between the windowsill and the grow tent around 45 ;)

[@petermakescartoons]

Do you have any plans for a greenhouse soon?

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Sadly not at all. With -35°c outside during winter, I don't see how I could keep it warm.

[@timlee4059]

how often do you mist or water your sphagnum moss? they look so healthy and happy inside!

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

During summer and winter I spray morning and evening (so I barely water my plants.

[@Wiseexotics]

the windowsill is looking great ! I also recently got a (clip x eymae)x (veitchii x lowii) aw sg thats a bit older i think, and it is very intense in reds and strips, bit of flare in peristome , i hope to compare to yours as it develops :D

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Oh yes! I hope we will be able to compare them! Small it's not impressive but it should gets better later

[@Wiseexotics]

@@WindowsillNepenthes it has much potential and room to grow 🌱😀

[@gamingandgardening7729]

Just 2 more days till national carnivorous plant day

[@bbpro5024]

After this video I’m now on the hunt for a n. robcantleyi x mollis. Unfortunately I’ve also found a n. epiphytica x mollis and I’m super indecisive lol

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Tough choice for sure!

[@Cacti_Of_Mexico]

Hey I was wondering how I can keep my small 2ftx2ftx3ft grow tent cool? It is so hot! I have a fan but it’s still to hot for my nepenthes!

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Well, I know some inline fan have air conditioning inside. Of extract the hot air and spray/fog to build humidity back?

[@cornondanob6722]

I like the rob x veitchii :]

[@Pokeinvestin]

where do get your nepenthes from?

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

From shops like Brad's or Pascal, but also from other growers. It's a mix ;)

[@Pokeinvestin]

@@WindowsillNepenthes could you send me the link to pascals? i cant seem to find it

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

@@Pokeinvestin it's not a website but more a Facebook profile: Pascal St Hilaire.

[@szanar8422]

The Perkinson Giant is my favorite one it looks unique and it’s a chonker lol Question: is it possible to identify nepenthes just by its leaves? I got a rescue from this store where they only sell Briggsiana, Hookeriana, Bloody Mary, and Alata so I wonder if it’s possible to tell them apart that way. Anyways awesome video 😎

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Yes this spectabilis is fantastic :) For identification via the leaves, yes ventrata, gaya and briggsiana have different leaf shape. I'll add that to my list of video to do

[@szanar8422]

@@WindowsillNepenthes looking forward to it! Man you deserve more views for so much work, I just bought a shirt from your store to show my support (also the design is badass). Take care 🌱😎

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

@@szanar8422 Thanks a lot for supporting me :)

[@sophiatedaldi4436]

What does BE#### mean?

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

BE = Borneo Exotic. It's the greenhouse that does this cross ;)

[@sophiatedaldi4436]

@@WindowsillNepenthes Oh thank you!

[@sophiatedaldi4436]

Amazing windowsill! Would you mind keeping the names of the Nepenthes varieties up for longer?? Sometimes, I think I'm not interested, then I see another picture and I'm like oooh what's that and I have to rewind and fast forward till I can see where the name is 😅

[@Gbiobibibbhoe]

None of my nepenthes are even making pitchers…

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Check this video, maybe it will help you spot what you need to change: kzbin.info/www/bejne/poi5oYaEmbt8ndE

[@Gbiobibibbhoe]

@@WindowsillNepenthes the problem is that everything is like the video that you made! They get about 2-3 hours of direct sunlight and about 14 hours of a artificial grow light. Humidity is 70% and temperature is enough I think (21°C)

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

@@Gbiobibibbhoe Everything looks fine. Are the plants new to your house? How are the new leaves?

[@Gbiobibibbhoe]

@@WindowsillNepenthes the plants aren’t new, but I recently moved them from a mini greenhouse to my room since they didn’t fit anymore. But the conditions are basically the same… the temperature and humidity are the same. One thing I noticed is that the new leaves are very floppy

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

@@Gbiobibibbhoe are you sure you don't water too much? Could be a little root rot.
