Euphyllia Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 Mounted The leaves aren't actually rotting... This species of tillandsia is suppose to look like that... In the tank Link to comment
Euphyllia Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 TOP-DOWN FTS There are four vines on the N. ventricosa x talagensis that I'm hoping will turn into nice pitchers. I read on a care guide that rapid changes in humidity (hot, dry bathroom to warm, wet "terrarium") can cause them to produce pitchers, so hopefully this will help the development. Link to comment
Euphyllia Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 I finally figured out a way to completely seal-off the tank! Humidity - 90% As you can see through the moisture-collective glass, there is a small container filled with RO water on the right. There are actually three in the tank. One on the right, one on the left and another in the center. This will be my way of keeping the humidity at a high, constant level so that the nepenthes do the best they possibly can. On the left you can see another container of RO water. In the center is a big clump of moist spanish moss, and on the right you can see the pot of the N. ventricosa x talangensis. Link to comment

FlCandy Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Level 2! LOL Looks good, they look like their forming pitchers....... Link to comment
Euphyllia Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 Looks good, they look like their forming pitchers....... Nope. They typically don't produce pitchers while in transitions of growing conditions. They also don't tend to flower during the winter. The tendrils may last until summer, but old tendrils usually don't produce pitchers. Link to comment

Euphyllia Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 It's kinda quiet and there is talking. If your computer isn't loud enough, you may want to turn up the volume so you can hear my descriptions of stuff.

Euphyllia Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 Gonna start a time lapse slideshow of the plant shooting up it's little leaf-crating stem vine. 12/15/11 12/16/11 Link to comment
FlCandy Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Nice vid, there was no talking as your music was so loud. Hate that song her voice is so annoying I want to punch her. Plants look happy though and your Humidity is only at 95% thought is was at 100% Either way they look happy. Link to comment

Plants look happy though and your Humidity is only at 95% thought is was at 100% Either way they look happy. It was at 100%, but it dropped to 95%. I want it to stay around 75% actually because I don't like having to dry out my spanish moss every five seconds. Link to comment
