ctarry Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 i have a rajah and mira to get them to produce pitchers, am I right in thinking that the humidity should be higher during the nights than the days, or does it not really matter? Currently the humidity is around 60% during the day and 80%+ at night. I could get it higher during the day if needed, but i give them more airflow during the daytime, which lowers the humidity since i got them in september they have been fine in these conditions, but obviously no pitchers in the winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicon Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Your levels are fine, RH naturally increases at night with the temperature drop. The increasing light levels will soon encourage some pitchers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctarry Posted May 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) thanks just noticed on the mira, a leaf that is around 3 months old that had a tendril and the very start of a pitcher that has not changed since it formed has suddenly burst into life and there is a nice little pitcher now are there factors that could influence the size of pitchers produced e.g higher humidity for bigger pitchers, less food for bigger/or more pitchers? just wondering if i should still fertilize with tea now Edited May 17, 2012 by ctarry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corky Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 coffee is used more than tea,good light should give smaller leaves but bigger pitchers,real ground coffee like you would drink but no milk or sugar and made with rain water or whatever you normally water with,i have used this and it does seem to get the plants growing stronger,i found rajah hard to grow and mine died but good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctarry Posted May 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 i only use tea because i don't have coffee it seems to work well my rajah seems fine. produces a new leaf ever 2-3 weeks, no pitchers yet though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Hi You will find that with using tea. The plants produce leafs but not many pictures. There's a post about tea treatments on here. I would say use ground coffee instead as you will get leafs and pitchers on your plants. Regards Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
