    I didn’t realize you were growing the Spanish moss. I thought it was just kind of like a decoration. Man, you could fill your house up to the ceiling with all the Spanish moss I have in my yard in north Florida! Come down and get it all! Hahaha it’s always dropping out of my trees into my yard and I have to move it to cut the grass.

    Can overfeeding an already dying pitcher be a good booster for future pitcher growth for the plant?
    Also, I always feel like I’m over watering my Veitchii because it’s not in a plastic net pot like my St. Gaya, where the air can constantly hit all the sphagnum moss around it and dry it. I’ve watered my Veitchii too much before and the pot was heavy. I resort to constantly lightly spraying the top of the sphagnum moss with rainwater. And doing a lift test with the pot to make sure it’s not too heavy.

    • @WindowsillNepenthes
      @WindowsillNepenthes  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes overfeeding a dying pitcher helps. And for the watering, I also try to reduce it, especially in the grow tent.

    THANK YOU, THANK YOU. Love your video. I bought my first Nepenthe and the tickey on it said `ASIAN PITCHER PLANT` and the instruction on the back said Light: medium light, Water: keep soil evently moist. My questions for you Is: is it ok to keep it on the Windowsill, and should I keep a water tray under it all the time ? Thank you in advance for you answers.

    • @WindowsillNepenthes
      @WindowsillNepenthes  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      A simple sauce under the pot would be ok, it's just to raise the humidity around. But keep the pot from touching the water. ;) Sunny South windowsill is great even if it's full sun for 2-3 hours.

    My Veitchii is in a solid pot as opposed to a netted pot, I’ve noticed when I thoroughly water my Veitchii, the pot stays heavy for almost a month. I think that might be too long. I don’t want to get root rot. I’ve updated my grow tent. It’s very well sealed and maintains much better humidity now. Constantly 80 %. Should I invest in using a moisture meter? Stick it in my Veitchii to make sure I don’t overwater?

    • @WindowsillNepenthes
      @WindowsillNepenthes  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I know nothing about cactus fertilizer... But cactus are less sensitive to minerals than Nepenthes, you need to use a fertilizer for sensitive plants like orchid. I'm afraid it's not about the dilution...

    • @JL_Loki
      @JL_Loki ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You need blooming fertilizer for orchids if you don't have maxsea. You need the lowest nitrogen possible if you can as it's the nitrogen preventing pitchers. And low PK from blooming fertilizer just means Nepenthes doesn't really need fertilizing especially if they can catch their own food. Also about mixing, you need TDS so you can check your dilution to 100 and less. That's usually the recommended dosage for carnivorous plants just to be safe. Others buy freeze dried insects, ground them and put them to pitchers. That's on the natural side.

    Hi Remy, do your pitchers all have water inside? When mine were outside they were filled with water and now that they are Iin the house no water! I brought them in the house so they can eat the bugs in the house (I've got a lot of bugs in the house) and it started to work immediately. the pitchers were filled with bugs when there was water in them. Now they have stopped making pitchers (must be adapting to the new environment) Is it ok to water the pitcher?
