Hello everyone! I have 3 Nepenthes and I bought the Nepenthes secret doom (the one in the back) and a nepenthes fancy tapestry (green one in the middle) at the same time as the same size (xxs) and my secret doom is humongous!! Why is the fact tapestry so small?.. it’s been 1 month under a year since I’ve had them.

I think either you are growing it in the wrong temperature, or it's genetic. You can use this website to estimate what conditions hybrids will like.https://www.carnivorousplants.co.uk/res ... ive-guide/

Thank you but I just went calculated it and the temperature is just fine, the night temps in my room are 68-70 and day time when the lights are on in the grow setup it gets about 70-80 degrees... so the small green one has perfect conditions

I think the secret doom may be a really fast grower, and the fancy tapestry might be a bit on the slower side. If you have only had the secret doom for about a year then it grows crazy fast based on the pictures you posted.

Yeah maybe, the secret doom is vigorously growing and I get a new pitcher every month, the fancy tapestry is growing very slowly.

Just to make sure I didn't get anything confused, are the two pictures of the individual plants when you got them, and the picture with two how they are currently looking?

Those neps look great!

I think it may just be genetic. If you want to boost the little one, try foliar fertilizing it with Maxsea 16-16-16 1/4 strength.

Yes, the individual pictures with the plants wrapped in a blue towel is when I got them, and the picture with both of them are how they look now.

I don’t want to mess up and kill the plant!
