LOWLAND NEPENTHES

KNOW STUFF

 
TEMPERATURE  &  HUMIDITY:
 DAYS:                        NIGHTS:
 • 78-90 ℉                 • 72-78 ℉
 • 75- 90%  rh           • 85-100%  rh

 
 
SOIL  &  WATER:

• Pot in a well-draining plastic or ceramic container with equal parts long-fiber sphagnum moss / coarse perlite.
  Avoid terra-cotta pots and fertilized soil products such as the Miracle-Gro brand
  
• Keep the soil damp using a low TDS water source such as R/O or distilled water. Do NOT tray-water! Unlike many others within the carnivorous genera, Nepenthes do not like to sit in water or be continuously exposed to wet conditions.

LIGHTING:

• Full spectrum T5/LED lighting with a 12-15 hour photo-period is a great option for the indoor grower.
• For growing outdoors, a shade cloth is recommended. Providing adequate shade will help prevent sunburn.
• Keep out of direct sunlight for long periods, especially on the hottest days. Species and hybrids with thin leaves are especially prone to burning.

AIR CIRCULATION:

• The high-humidity conditions Nepenthes thrive in can be the perfect breeding grounds for bacteria, fungus, and disease. Adequate air-circulation around the plant is critical in preventing mold and fungal infections.
  

FEEDING:

• For larger Nepenthes, feeding can be achieved by adding a diluted mixture of MaxSea fertilizer to a couple pitchers 1-2x per month. (1/4 teaspoon MaxSea mixed into 1 gallon of RO or distilled water)
  We suggest adding to older pitchers to keep the newest pitchers looking nice and fresh!
  
• For smaller plants and seedlings, very lightly mist the leaf surface with the diluted mixture taking care to avoid overspray accumulation in the soil.
  
• Supplemental feeding may not be necessary if your plant is able to naturally feed in your environment.

DORMANCY:

• No dormancy required
