Am I doing something wrong with my N. Villosa?

Recommended Posts

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!!!DSCF0469.jpg

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

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 :)IMG_0917.jpgIMG_0901.jpg

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

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

Thanks Icarus! I'm using 19-6-12, moss loves it just as much as the nepenthes do.

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

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

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?
