FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Hello, I received a nepenthes seedling that I was not expecting with another plant I order from a friend. It is Nepenthes naga ( although he was 100% sure). The day after I got it, I noticed that the pitchers were starting to dry and the largest leaf seemed to be browning on the edges. I give it 8-10 hours of light under 2 100 watt CFLs that produce 3200 lumens. It gets day temps of about 75f and night temps of around 55-60f. Is there anything wrong, or am I just worried about nothing.

Thanks
Boris

That's normal to lose some pitchers after shipping. And the plant looks great. Your conditions sound good but they do like some extra humidity to grow new pitchers. The new growth point is healthy

Thank you very much for your feedback. This is my first nepenthes and I was worried that I messed somthing up. Once again thanks!

Looks fine, though what soil is that in?

It is in a peat, perlite orchid bark mix (ratio is 2:2:1). I would have used mor Orchid bark but I ran out. There is a bit more peat than I would like there to be but I make sure not to over water an to keep the soil damp, but not wet.

Yeah you'll definitely want to be careful about how wet you keep that plant.
