N. sibuyanensis and N. argentii are found in similar habitats. About windowsill, this needs to be tried. But do you want to risk an argentii ? I wouldn't ;-)
Hi,
I do have experience with argentii. I grow it between 15 and 25°C in akadama.
But let's be honest, the chances you got real argentii seeds are really very low. Almost impossible, as stated above by Nepenthesman.
If I may, I think you should read some information about basics care for Nepenthes.
Plants of this genus are tropical, and do not go dormant in winter in-situ.
Good luck!
Same here. I usually use this:
Lowlanders: 1/5 dead sphagnum, 1/5 perlite, 1/5 peat moss, 2/5 Orchiata 9-12mm (orchiata are high-quality barks)
Highlanders: 2/3 dead sphagnum + perlite 1/3
In my conditions, highland plants are not growing very well in peat-base medium.
Hi everyone,
I'll try to pollinate my N. campanulata soon, but I have a technical question to improve the success rate.
Do you stop watering the flowers in order to avoid washing off the pollen?
Thanks for the advices.
The following 2 have some:

I just tried a mix with Seramis. But it's really recent, so I can't tell much about the results (ok so far, though).
1 perlite, 1 pumice, 1 pouzzolane, 1 Seramis, 1 calcareous sand + calcareous sand surfacing
Hi everyone,
I'm about to receive some Mexican pinguiculas, and I am planning to put some pure sand on top of the mix as surfacing.
The aim is to avoid algae development.
So, the question is: which sand? Calcareous (same as I'll put in my mix), or the usual carnivorous plants one (quartz)?
Did anyone compare these 2 side-by-side, to have an idea of what is best? I noticed a lot of moss development in the pot where I have my Nepenthes campanulata with calcareous gravel surfacing.
