Nepenthes argentii


Maiden

Recommended Posts

Hello guys

Im about to order an nep argentii, and i can read on some websites that specie is picky and hard to grow.

If i put the plant in the same tank with my nep hamata and tenuis(both plants just thrive), it will be ok ?

Days/nights temperatures will be 24C/18C and RH% at 80%.

Thanks!

i think your night temps will be too high.

you will need to provide lots of air movement too. it is tricky, maybe you would do better with glabrata,

although, whilst it grows naturally alongside hamata, it too would still prefer it a bit cooler.

Well, i have only a small plant and i have heard, that young plants are less difficult, but i have it for about 2 years now and it is growing very nicely and quite easy - from tiny seedling about 4 cm in diameter it is now about 10 cm in diameter with nice 1 cm pitchers. In summer, i definitelly do not have night temps below 18 °C (and now the temp falls min. to 13 °C, usually about 15 °C). I think that air movement and not too wet soil mix is more important. It also seems to like strong light.

Just my 2 cents: I'm growing this one with day/night temps of 30+C/20C with RH of ~80% and very little air movement, yet It actually seems to like these conditions. Perhaps the high day temps are okay because of the large temp drop at night?
