This is the first time my ampullaria started to grow pitchers after many 'testing' on growig them. Provide with higher himidity is the key.  |

I put it in partial shade near other plants around trying to mimic the environment in its habitat and water it and mist it frequently.

How do you get it to grow basels? I've tried with my plants. When I increase humidity, they produce picthers but at the leaves, not basel shoots.

I really don't know, it grow by itself, I think cutting the main stem should promote basals growth. Will observe it and try out some possibilities. but if you work during day time when it is super hot and windy. how to mist? The method I told you before should work, didn't that work? Probably you will have to create a higher 'wall' and close the top portion abit then. Place a cup of water on the pot to let it evaporate slowly within the 'wall'. Mist it every morning and evening. Hopefully this help. |

hi everyone
David, what plant are u refering to? im assuming that u are refering to ampu ....Not all neps has that capability of making a carpet of cute basals. As far as i know only ampu, gracilis and distillatoria like to make basals.
i have a trick to make my ampus basal. i grow them almost horizontally. For new plants, I let the stem rest on the edge of the pot while the roots planted somewhere in the middle. Another way is to let the main stem bend until it is below the level of the media surface. Careful not to break the stem...hahahahahahha
this 2nd method also work for other species whenever u wanna make new plant.
