CPs Update

CPs Update!

After transferring plants to a new environment, I notice that sphagnum moss are dying. It turns white but I cannot find the reason. I introduce a new technique to prevent more problem by using a plastic sheet to cover the terrarium order to maintain humidity.

1. D carlifornica
This one grows rapidly. It produces a new pitcher every week. Also I notice that there are two growing spots now! The pitchers are turning red because of artificial light. Hope that they will become entirely red soon.
2. D carlifonica
This one is still uncertain. The new pitcher does not fully develop and seems to abort before mature. It becomes black from the tip and develops slowly. I think there is a problem with rooting system (the plant came almost without root!).
3. N ramispina
The pitcher plant is growing well. After a brief shock after transferring, it resumes growth. The new leaf is bigger than old ones because of Osmocote.



4. P moctezuma
This one grows steadily. Nothing special.
5. D adelae
The initial plant is almost dead. It slowly deteriorates and turns brown. However, the new offspring are growing well. Because of the new technique, they produce more dew daily.
6. D musipula
The plant is growing well but it still cannot overgrow sphagnum moss.
