Potter Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Hey folks So I've got N.truncata seeds germinating on my east facing windowsill in nz. Wondering if anyone has any tips or tricks about how to grow truncatas in a windowsill without any special treatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argo88 Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Hi! I grow mine in a windowswill... it is an highland form... it is a very strong plant... in winter I use additional light .., it makes pitchers and grows all the winter... seedlings are very slow growing... my plant have minimum temperature of 11 C in the colder night in winter... If you have lowland form you need higher temperatures ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potter Posted November 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Thanks Argo88 ! Any suggestions on a small light/lamp/desk lamp size light that I could use during the winter time ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argo88 Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 Hi! If you have only a pot you can use a white spectrum lamp of 6000 k in a desk lamp... I bought it for 3,5€ in a chinese shop;-) If you prefer a little more professional lamp, there are growlights for indoor culture... This is the 3rd winter that I grow indoor my truncata and it continue to grow (very slowly due to the low temperature) and make pitchers;-) The violet light is a growlight, that you can see envolved in cellophane... ad you can see my indoor growing point is not well looking, but it works;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potter Posted December 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 Hey Anyone have experience with using humidifiers? I'm thinking of getting a small humidifier or fogger to put on the windowsill with my Nepenthes. Would something like this be OK? (see attached screenshot) or would a fogger type thingy be better?
