Estalucy Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Hi everyone, I bought this plant in early spring, it's pitchers (only 2) were green and about an inch long at the most, I hung it out in my tree in the front North facing garden. Since then it's grown lovely red big pitchers. I am wondering do I put it into dormation for the winter like I do my dionaea and sarracenia (ladies in waiting hybrid) or doesn't it need it, can I just bring it indoors?

Argo88 Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Hi! You should keep it indoor, in a very sunny windowswill;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estalucy Posted August 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Ok, and just slow down the watering, how often do you think I should water it over the winter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argo88 Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) I’m not an expert... it seems to me a very strong and nice hybrid... when night temperatures go below 15 C, keep it indoor... the compost must be always moist, never wet... you could put some mm of water in the try, than when the try dries wait 1 or 2 days befor put in it new water... in winter, if you don’t give the plant additional light, the plant could don’t make pitchers... it is all ok, it starts make pitchers again in spring... sorry for my bad English, I hope you understand me;-) Edited August 30, 2019 by Argo88 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincent Posted September 24, 2019 Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 If I may, I think you should read some information about basics care for Nepenthes. Plants of this genus are tropical, and do not go dormant in winter in-situ. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
