hello to everyone, because this time I can not do the tutorial on Nepenthes, I decided to publish it in writing, I hope you will please, to all a salutone Rita
the Nepenthes is a tropical plant that comes from areas that are around the Indian Ocean, and is fine in the heat, are creeping or climbing plants and epiphytes. Each leaf produces
propio pitcher (which is part of a long bowl in which insects are caught), which can be long from 2-3 cm to 30 cm depending on species. The pitcher
live about 8-10 months after which it begins to turn yellow until dry.
The propagation of this plant is made in kind for seed
requires constant temperatures between 20 and 25 ° in the summer months can be left outdoors in cold weather as long as the shade should be placed in homes. Light
require a good diffused brightness, but do not like direct sunlight. Humidity and water
want a very high humidity in our homes if there is a dry spray with rainwater or distilled water at least once a week so that you can moisturize even the pitchers who breast will dry prematurely. Fertilization
not need fertilizer like all insect-eating plants.
Mold
Use a well drained soil such as peat or cmq mixtures made of peat and bark, never put water in the saucer which would prevent the aeration of the roots, also avoid repotting often, because the root system is very weak and this cmq does not require excessively large plant pots, hand-hand that the plant becomes large, you can put a stake in it and you will climb the tree.
diseases are easily attacked by pests such as aphids or scale insect thrips are also subject to fungal diseases, to prevent these illnesses is important to keep the temperature above 20 degrees and good hydration.
This plant is very long-lived if well looked after.
