This was my first thought - that this was a calculated stunt. Talent builds intrigue, but rage gets clicks. This is sad to see as it is, but if this is a genuine reaction, it's even sadder.
I would never want anything to do with this artist, whether this was a genuine bad reaction or malicious. Just sad.
Here you go! "Nepenthes like being kept moist, not wet. Think of a moist sponge. They appreciate a well draining potting mix and dislike standing in water constantly. They should never be allowed to completely dry out. You can keep them in saucers of water indoors, but they must be allowed to evaporate in between waterings." - https://redleafexotics.com/pages/nepenthes-care-guide. I think it was mentioned further up the thread as well with some other good tips from @[email protected]
I don't run a heat lamp, but I keep mine inside, nearish a window, and it never gets below 60F in my house (so about 15.5C). I water mine from the top, when I see water start to form in the rocks under it, I stop. I do that twice a week based on that "sponge" rule.
I'm so thankful @[email protected] got hold of this to help answer questions for you. Everything you were told is 100% the perfect advice.
If you want to know more of my setup, and maybe help plan some of your own - I have a single 10w SANSI bulb about a foot away and on for 8 hours a day, also the plant is in an East facing window. I have the nursery-style pot on top of some glass "rocks" in a drainage tray, and water twice a week using the "sponge" rule. The tray of glass "rocks" keeps the Nep from sitting in water (and avoids possible minerals getting to it). My apartment ranges from 30% humidity in the winter to about 70%+ in summer. I live in the Northeastern US near the coast, so that helps a bit. You can see my setup here:
Post a picture! Also there is a pretty great Discord for John's Carnivorous Plants that can usually ID a Nepenthes in minutes here: https://discord.gg/bn4wNpwj (but post here first because I'm greedy and I want a first crack at it)
Some definitely don’t mind a little chill at night. Other hybrids are hearty in either. Do you know which one you have?
It is! Nepenthes Sanguinea Orange
"Additionally, Disney announced that starting September 6 subscribers in the US will have access to a new ad-free bundled subscription featuring the ad-free Disney+ and Hulu services for $19.99 a month" I already have had this for a while, it's interesting that this isn't going up... maybe I'm missing something? I think I might have ESPN+ in mine as well, but I don't use it, so didn't notice.
Hola! 1 10 year account, 3 accounts at 3+ years.
Are you bottom watering that Nepenthes with that pot? I only ask because I had a bad experience doing bottom/tray watering, and was wondering your results (I also had to swap to LFSM for my Neps).
I also had a huge cluster of D. Spatulata like that and they were super cranky, ended up having to separate all of them - it's like your plants are 100% opposite mine!
Absolutely! I need to know more about my own local stuff (I'm in New England. We have trees and poison ivy, so that's all I usually identify).
The Pine Barrens have a bunch of cool stuff! at least two different Drosera - Intermedia and Rotundifolia. Also Sarracenia (North American Pitcher Plants) and Utricularia (Bladderworts) - one of Charles Darwin's favorite carnivores - those little dudes live around most of the world except Antarctica. That seems like a super hiking spot, I'll have to visit there with the wife and go on a carnivore expedition.
Edit - wife is super excited to go, and we're going to try to get there this year! Thank you so much! This is the kind of stuff I found on reddit, and I'm glad to find it here on Lemmy ;)
My Binata snuck around to my U. Reniformis container to give it some pizazz
My Drosera Binata decided to sneak around to my Utricularia container to give it some pizazz
It's to remind you that you need more cheese. I almost was down to the Kraft Singles the other day. Those commercials saved my life.
