 | This is a yet-unnamed plant from Ilu Tepui, which has yet to receive species-status. Wonderful pictures of mature plants can be seen on Andreas Wistuba's website. My plants are about 2-3 years old and growing slowly. It may be some time before they start producing mature pichers. Compost: live sphagnum moss, peat, sand and perlite (approx 4:3:1:1) with a top-dressing of live sphagnum. Pot: 5" or 6" (?) full-length pot (I don't know how large this can get) Watering: Sits in 2" water summertime, with regular overhead watering and a regular ultrasonic humidifier blowing mist. Regular overhead watering in winter. Light: Full diffused light. Temperature: 10C-32C. Requires night temperatures to drop to 18C or less. |
