Cultivation of nepenthes

 
Places Altitude and Temperature For nepenthes
1. Lowland Nepenthes (0 Ã ¢ Â Â "1000 m asl)
Generally live in the range of temperature of 20 Ã ¢ Â Â "35 degrees Celsius
2. Nepenthes plateau (> 1000 m asl)
Temperature of 10 Ã ¢ Â Â "30 degrees Celsius. There are several types of highland nepenthes which requires low temperature to 4 degrees Celsius in order to grow well. For those who live in the lowlands can use a refrigerated room or refrigerator to put the plant species the high plains at night.
3. Nepenthes intermediate, which can grow well in low-and high plains.
 
Humidity
High humidity, above 70%, is an important requirement for nepenthes
to grow well and remove the bag. If humidity is too low, it is ascertained if nepenthes not going to set up a bag and grew miserable. High humidity can be generated by way of watering the plants every day, In addition, maintaining the plant close to the pool or resource pool and other water also helps keep the humidity high.
Some kind of nepenthes from Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and the Philippines, who lives in grasslands, can live with lower moisture in the dry season, because memereka has roots that grow like tuber, sebangai water storage.
 
SunPlants that lack of sunlight is generally do not form a sac, etiolasi, and the plants looked weak.Plants that get too much sun can cause spots on leaves, leaf burn, or failed because of dry marsupial.1. Direct sunlight.Many of lowland nepenthes like N. gracilis, N. mirabilis, and most of the plateau type generally likes to direct sunlight.2. Indirect sunlight.N. ampullaria and N. longifolia growing well with no direct sunlight.Note: Nepenthes is like indirect sunlight to grow well in direct sunlight when the humidity is always high, and nutrients are met.

Fertilization.Fertilizing can help plant growth and prevent disease.How to fertilization:1. Incorporate fertilizer, insects, or other food sources into the bag.2. Provision of foliar fertilizer.3. Watering fertilizer.4. Sowing slow release fertilizer.


Propagation1. SeedSeeds are obtained by means pollinate the female flowers with pollen from male flowers. Plants are propagated from the new seeds will be mature at the age of 3-4 years.2. Cuttings- Cuttings can be done by cutting the stems of mature plants that have been elongated.- Materials used to form the cutting tip or the shaft of others that are still green.- Cuttings can be either a single eye cuttings up to more than five buds.- Generally, nepenthes does not require additional hormones to stimulate rooting. But for some species, the hormone can help speed up the rooting. Excess hormones can cause cuttings to rot.3. Separation chicksNepenthes seedlings generally issued after the plants mature.Puppies should be separated from its mother if she has had its own roots4. GraftNepenthes grafting grafting can be done like other woody plants.5. StoopNepenthes ducked ducked can also be done like any other crop.
To note:Choose a fertilizer that contains no urea and ammonium high.Fertilizer with content like the above can cause plant toxicity = burnt, or if not burned, leaves will be too big with a small bag or no bag.Fertilization can be done until the recommended label dose, once a week. Among the fertilizing, the plants must be watered with a lot of water, so no fertilizer build up in the media.
