vdub804 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Hello all, My Villosa is making new leafs smaller than old leafs! Rajah Macrophylla and Trusmadiensis likes these conditions Villosa not so much. temps are 22°C day 10°C night. it is illuminated by bright window light plus 54W T5HO with 6500k bulbs. should I increase night temp a few degrees or decrease illumination? Thanks in advanced!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius1989 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Hi, I think you should increase night and day temperatures a bit. My villosa grows pretty well with night temps around 15° and day temps 25°. macrophylla and rajah like it too Do you change the plants conditions? The fertilizer is osmocote? regards Marius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icarus Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Don't keep it too wet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdub804 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) It gets wet only when I water it. I like to keep my foliage on the dry side because wetness seems to make pitchers etc. rot faster. btw here's a pic of my seed grown Edwardsiana it's over 7in across. I got my email from Andreas that my plants have been shipped overseas so I should have my Wistuba Edwardsiana pretty soon!!! hopefully one is male and the other is female Edited July 22, 2013 by vdub804 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius1989 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Wow, very nice mate. You feed it with osmocote too? regards Marius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdub804 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 I use to give my highland nepenthes coffee but switched to osmocote because it makes em grow very quick I also noticed with the osmocote the leaf jumps are much larger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icarus Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Nice edwardsiana. Your villosa should do well. What kind of osmocote do you use? And how much? Does the moss get damaged by it? I noticed Sphagnum don't like coffee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdub804 Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 Thanks Icarus! I'm using 19-6-12, moss loves it just as much as the nepenthes do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vdub804 Posted July 26, 2013 Author Share Posted July 26, 2013 my collection is not impressive but here are a couple of pic enjoy Petiolata Densiflora Izumae Singalana 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icarus Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 19-6-12? What do you mean? Could you post a link to the osmocote you use? How much do you use and how frequently? regards, Ica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YanikB. Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Hi Icarus, kurz auf deutsch, weil ichs auf Englisch nicht zusammenbekomme 19-6-12 ist das Verhältnis zwischen Stickstoff, Phosphor und Kalium (manchmal mit einer 4. Zahl auch Magnesium). Guckst du hier! auf der rechten Seite steht die Zusammensetzung, in diesem Fall 17-9-11(-2) MfG Yanik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icarus Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Okay, fragt sich nur noch wo es genau diese zusammensetzung gibt, wie häufig man das anwendet und in welcher Konzentration bzw. welche Menge. Muss ich die kleinen Kugeln dann jedes mal unters Sphagnum friemeln? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
