Scuipici Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) What is the mix that you are using? Also what is the temp? My ping was doing great for a year until I decided to transplant it in Peat+ perlite. Since then it is struggling. I think the media might be a bit too hard for the roots to make it's way, i plan to transplant it in a peat with more perlite and sand. Here are some photos so you can get an idea of how the plant looks. http://imgur.com/a/K1sUh Also forgot to say, it's not making dew as it used to, it's been like this for the whole of 2016 Edited January 7, 2017 by Scuipici 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It (and the young ones) grows well in my conditions... Temperatures: 4-35 C... I grew them outside, in a very luminous position... I cultivate one in southest and hottest part of Italy, and there I don't make it recive direct sunlight, and one in my parents house, in Northern and coolest part of Italy.. Here the plant like very much also summer direct sunlight and tourn its leaves in yellow;-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argo88 Posted January 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Does Your plant recive quite a lot light? Because it produces more dew if it recive a lot of light... I asked it To You also because the leaves seems me a little longer than my plants leaves in this time;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be full of gnats, but this year not so much. I think the soil seems to be the problem, is not aerate/ loose enough. The longer leaves right now, is probably because of the light. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, ok, ir it is for the light... Yes it must have a good aerated soil... Now You can repot in a better medium Your ping... I suggest You pure sand or volcanic lava... If You use a mineral medium, You can water Your plant with the water of Your kitchen or toilette... It is a good thing a little of calcare... Only You must put the water for a day in a open container, so the flourus evaporate;-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
