So my nepenthes Asian pitcher plant has been through it all 😅 i repotted it in sphagnum moss and perlite and then gave it a smidge of orchid fertilizer and I mean like two spritz of 0.2 orchid fertilizer and then watered it left it at my moms with a grow light for a week she hung it by the door and said it might’ve gotten some cold air but im thinking it might be the fertilizer any thoughts what i should do to keep it alive?
Not gonna lie and say I’m a nepenthes expert, literally just dipped my toe into the genius, but I don’t believe you are supposed to give them any kind of fertilizer at all. When I was researching before I got mine, I read that in several places, they get what they need feeding, not fertilizer. Again, I’m no expert, but there is someone that has a stunning collection, maybe they will weigh in. Good luck though
0 likes Yeah I was told it’d be okay to try a little bit because the pitchers were no coming back at all after the winter but honestly it was probably the fertilizer because it’s looking better already after a few good waters and yeah this is my first one so I’m a little new to the ins and outs and thanks good luck to you aswell
