Thank you so much for all the care guide, you put so much effort into sharing your experience. I got into nepenthes from watching your videos. What are your top 10 nepenthes that are beginners friendly?
@@louisgreen3071 Yes it's easy as long as you provide good light and water it properly but pure alata is rare. You probably have an hybrid like n. Ventrata: th-cam.com/video/qtjfWem0SM4/w-d-xo.html
i like to simply orient the leaves so that the tip of the tendrils are touching the sphagnum moss in the pot to keep them nice and moist and they usually develop with no problems, as the plant gets bigger and longer then i have to use elevated cups or shot glasses filled with moist moss to reach the tendrils
The great video explained. My recommendation is to show pictures or videos of examples about the subject that you are talking about. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Yes, that's the idea. Every time I can I show you what I'm talking about. :) But sometime I can't find pictures "free to use" and there is no way I use copyrighted content.
Great video! I'm having problems with only two plants: My Bicalcarata and my Hamata. Neither are growing pitchers. I think it is because one is very highland and one very lowland and my conditions are intermediate, so I am assuming that is my problem. I'm hoping eventually they adapt to these conditions, but we will see.
@@WindowsillNepenthes Oh yeah, my Hamata x Spatulata hybrid is doing great. I have just seen some pure Hamata Lamuts grown on window sills. I'm not sure if that is just a clone of a very tolerant plant or if any of them can be conditioned to pitcher in those conditions. If I don't get any pitchers by next spring I plan on going back to terrariums, but I would rather have them in my window. In your opinion, how far can you condition a plant before I'm just wasting my time?
Last year I had a heatwave AND my nepenthes really suffered the heat. They started growing the pitchers upside down. Now most of them recover ,but for one that hasnt given any new pitchers but has basal shot AND has grown a Lot.
Any tips for a nepethesis x mercury? I am getting tendrils and almost pitchers but no actual pitchers. Also one of my plants is growing some odd leaves, some of the new stalks it is growing have deformed leaves. Deformed in that they will not create actual leaves but nubs with little black tips... has anyone seen this before?
I don't grow it, but the parents would be (kampotiana x maxima) x (ventricosa x maxima) so it's ok for windowsill preferring warmer temperatures. Deformed leaves = stress, so possibly the lack of humidity, too cold or too hot temperatures, or even pest like thrips. You will have to investigate.
I have a Nepenthes Alata.. It lost it's only pitcher within a month of bringing it home.. I thought it was dying so I moved it around and found it likes my bathroom hanging from the ceiling, it is more healthy there but it still has no new pitchers.. It has small embryos of pitcher but they are not changing or growing into small pitchers.. Can anybody help?
If you conditions are good (light, humidity and temperature) maybe the plant just need time to adjust. Give it 2 month and see. But it's normal that the pitchers and leaves not produced under your care die.

Thanks!
For the top 10 Nepenthes species, I'll make that into video if you don't mind ;) That's a great idea!
@@WindowsillNepenthes That is fantastic! That would really help with buying new nepenthes. :)
@@WindowsillNepenthes is alata a good beginner nepenthes?

@@WindowsillNepenthes Thanks, it's definitely a hybrid then, it's just a monkeypots one

Good idea, I'll maybe try the elevated pots filled with sphagnum. But I know myself: an empty pot won't stay empty for long lol 😆
Thank you! Love the closeups - It really helps me see what you are describing :). Great job! Sandy
Thanks 😊
Another good video, and i too really like the close up shots. Thankyou!

You are totally right, their needs (as night temperature) are too different. But hybrids of them would work :)

@@JSTKSK Same here. My hamata doesn't like my windowsill most of the year so it will be moved...
Just ordered some more lights so hopefully this will cause me to get more pitchers thanks for information
Did you use the-15% off code?
@@WindowsillNepenthes no I forgot

It's good that you got a basal :)
Great video! Really helpful! I have a Nepenthes Jacquelineae and is the only nepenthes that I have that don't have pitchers.
So do you have any idea why?
My Jacquelineae slow down during winter.
@@WindowsillNepenthes I'm from Perú so here is summer now. The leaves are growing fine. Maybe needs more humidity.
@@javierllosa9497 Probably if the amount of light is OK. ;)
Great video I appreciate your help
Thanks for these kind words :)
Thank you for these important tips, mine came from the mail a week ago and it looks like its dying...trying to save it...thanks
Nepenthes will recover if they were not "cooked" (or to cold) during the shopping ;)
@@WindowsillNepenthes thanks again, hope ill will recover, thanks for the tip
Hi my dear friend, where do you buy your Spanish hanging moss from..I'm living in Toronto.
Mine came from Home Depot or Rona I believe.
@@WindowsillNepenthes tks my good friend.
You're sooo experience in this type of plant..because of you I went n buy two pitcher regular plant.not sure of their name tho.
Thanks! Google: Nepenthes Ventrata, Nepenthes Gaya and Nepenthes Briggsiana. It should be one of them. ;)

It needs more light. ;)
Bro I having ventarata small plant . I transport and it comes in 3days . now the picture is not coming the picture is going black. Pls give any tips

My plant that's is no picture
is there any truth to the idea they wont produce pitchers if you feed them too much
Impossible to know... Noone have real proof. I confess I'm not sold on that and feed every pitcher.
Are you french? I cant place the accent!
Yes, pure Parisian French from France ;)
