manders Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) Damn! that's a good looking pitcher....Now I want to own one Problem with bicals is they get big, very big and they're lowlanders and they like sunshine. You either need to heat a greenhouse to a decent temperature all winter or build yourself a 1-2 m diameter terrarium...

I'm aware of the "issues" with the bicals and most of the lowlands nad that's why I'm keeping myself to the highlands/intermediates It's a shame 'cos I like the looks of bicals and ampullarias 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdeford09 Posted June 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Thanks everyone! I am fortunate enough to live in Texas where it is very hot the majority of the year so Lowlanders love to grow here. But, as long as your temps do you not drop below 18C at night and can exceed 26C during the day, most lowland plants will still grow for you. They just might not grow as quickly. Plus, Fluorescent lights usually give off enough heat to keep them warm enough during the day and they do just fine. Mist them a couple times a day for humidity too.

North West Neps Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Has it lost a tooth ? Or is it just obscured by the tendril ? Bicals are probably one of my favourite nepenthes, i just wish i could grow lowlanders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdeford09 Posted June 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Haha, no both teeth are there.. It is just the angle. I will take another pic of it when I get off work tomorrow :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdeford09 Posted June 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Here is the updated pic where you can see both fangs :) Humidity is dropping below 50% outside so I brought her back in and put her in the tank. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMHoff Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 What a beauty! How high is the humidity in the tank? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdeford09 Posted June 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 The humidity in the tank rarely drops below 60%.. only when the moss surrounding all of the pots starts drying.. But, I have a humidifier and keep the most fairly moist. It averages probably 70% all of my plants have been moved outside now and they are getting between 50-99%... The bical seems to thrive in what ever I put it in. The newest leaf is tipping the scales at 21" long without the tendril.... Gonna get huge fast! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
