If most people pot Nepenthes in peat(no experts), I wonder why? In Gartencenters I understand why! It's often because they don't have the knowledge for them and they just rely on the People where they buy it. My Nepenthes are 99% from the Gardener "Green Jaws" or "Fangblatt" here in Germany and I haven't repotted them and all of them with no exception are in Peat but they are growing very well! But when I have to repot it I will try dead shagnum Moos and Perlite.
@@WindowsillNepenthes All my Plants are healthy as far I can see and as I said they are all in a peat mix with quartz sand and Perlite. Where do you have your dead shagnum Moss from? Amazon?
Some Nepenthes (especially the hardier, easy to grow hybrids you find in garden centers like the ventrata) can technically grow ok in peat moss, since peat is deficient in nutrients. But due to the physical characteristics of peat it's more likely setting yourself up for failure if you do. It's you would have to be extremely careful with how much you watered to not let the peat dry out (it gets hard to rehydrate) or stay too soaking (it readily absorbs and holds onto water. Better to just repot it into a medium that is more airy like sphagnum moss mixes.
You have an amazing and underrated channel there ! I am watching all your videos one by one. Lot of great info and tips to learn from. Thank you ! The internet helps a lot. What knowledge one might get through experience over the years by killing many plants can be obtained from already experienced people! Just awesome.
@@WindowsillNepenthes It is just a store bought 'Bloody Mary', but it seems to be very very happy! I follow all your advice and additionally feed her woodlice every month! lol!
I've been watching a ton of your videos lately, seems to me like your audio quality has gotten a lot better. Thats awesome and makes the video a lot easier to listen to
Thank for noticing! Yes I bought a new desktop mic (for the voice over). After that, I'll upgrade the video (I film on my smartphone for now). I believe in this channel so I want to invest in it, even if it's less money for the plants... 😢
Noted! :) But for small topic like that I didn't want to waist your time being longer than needed. Next week will be 8 minutes long and the next one is a19 minutes interview haha
i definitely need to repot 3 of my plants has this slimy thing growing on the potting mix. It looks exactly like in one of your community posts, i think you said it was algae Is algae bad though? the plants are medium size
@Windowsill Nepenthes airflow it is! i have a fan i rarely used, i just dont like the work of manually turning it off and on Because it gets rid of the humidity pretty fast (they are in a very small area) Whats should i do?
Depends on the plant size, but you want this plant to stay in this new pot for at least 2 years. Imagine your plant in 2 years and then choose the pot size. 😉
Hello! I have this brick of exoterra plantation soil, its package says "triple washed heat treated coco fiber". Can I use this for nepenthes? I heard coco products contain too much salts
I don't know this one but I used coco husk from the same brand without problem. Also, frogs have a really thin skin that would "drink" the salt out of the soil and poison themselves... so IF it was dangerous, I don't think Exoterra would sell that to their clients. ;)
This can be several things such as the roots could have been damaged during repotting. But if you had just had the plant then it is quite possible that it is rather a lack of light. Check this video that may guide you: th-cam.com/video/pWVpSNdVIgo/w-d-xo.html
Je comprends, mais je ne peux pas faire tout en 2 differentes langues car cela représente deux fois plus de travail pour moi (et je fais les sous-titre donc ça aide). Tu comprends que faire une vidéo par semaine, c'est délà énormément de travail.
A Nepenthes is a kind of carnivorous plant. Maybe your destiny is to grow one! or you are interested in plants? Her is a better view of nepenthes: th-cam.com/users/shortsIZKhlmr4kt8?feature=share

I don't know a lot about peat moss, but well drained it should work. It's just less "forgiving" than sphagnum for root rot. ;)

@@tironjr yes the sphagnum is from Amazon but some reptiles website can have some too.
@@WindowsillNepenthes ok I will read what the People say

Thanks for these nice words! ❤ 😃
Just re-potted mine after this great video! I had 5 basal shoots ... so 5 more plants :-D Thank you brother! Brilliant as always!
5 basal shoots?! Fantastic!
May I ask what species it is?

Thank you for your awesome videos. I am a new carnivorous plant owner and I have fallen in love.
Happy to help 😊
Thank you that was an excellent video on Nepenthes when to repot . My Nep Campanulata has many basal that keep coming.
You very welcome :)
Thank you sir! Leaveing a comment to help the algo! 💚
Thanks 😊
We like the longer videos better 🤭 great content rely 👍🏻😁

Thanks! short but helpfull
i definitely need to repot
3 of my plants has this slimy thing growing on the potting mix. It looks exactly like in one of your community posts, i think you said it was algae
Is algae bad though? the plants are medium size
Algae are only bad for seedlings as it can cover them. But if you have algae, you may need more drainage and airflow. ;)
@Windowsill Nepenthes airflow it is!
i have a fan i rarely used, i just dont like the work of manually turning it off and on
Because it gets rid of the humidity pretty fast (they are in a very small area)
Whats should i do?
@@Black_chinese_monster Have you considered a Digital Programmable Timer?
You could turn it on 5 minutes every 2h... - amzn.to/3jryBGY
Thank you.
when repotting how much bigger should i make the pot?
Depends on the plant size, but you want this plant to stay in this new pot for at least 2 years. Imagine your plant in 2 years and then choose the pot size. 😉
