corky Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 that Villosa looks great,must be happy with so many pitchers,i don't think i could grow one though,Elvis what kind of special treatment if any do you give the plant (temps and such like) oh and i might not have as much patience 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis Posted January 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Thanx guys! I grow the Villosa as a "Highlander" At the moment its in a terrarium which is 25c -16c , its potted in live sphag/peat/perlite i occasionaly spray with orchid fertilizer the plant is surrounded by other Neps with "overgrown moss" (I guess this increases the humidity) And thats all i can say really!! I never Knew that it was such a "problem plant" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corky Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 cheers for your reply,i was under the impression that temps at night needed to be cooler,obviously not 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis Posted January 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Im not saying that its EASY!!!! It just grows easy for me! apparently it gets "fussier" in old age, but i know alot of Experienced growers still have trouble with it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snapperhead51 Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 nice plants elvis, good to see the plants in great condition 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Evans Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Once there is a problem, it is very difficult to get villosa back in good health. The more stable its growing conditions--consistently moist with nice a temperature drop at night the more problems tend to stay away. The peltata hybrid looks almost like there is some bicalcarata in it... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
