Hi, i don't use any moss as my nepenthes media. i use the top layer of the soil taken from the forest as the media. the plants survive. i water the plants every day.

From the shape i'd say it's a raff. But an all green type? I never see before.

hi artificialive, based on my observation i think the nepenthes from the first picture is a form of hybrid. it has no neck and i can't find the second plant in the area. the 5th and 9th pictures are both hybrids, most probably hybrids of n. rafflesiana and n. mirabilis.

hi david. based on the shapes of the pitchers and species available (n.mirabilis, n.rafflesiana, n.gracilis and n.ampullaria) in the area, i think all except the 12th plant are hybrid between n.rafflesiana and n.mirabilis). the 12th plant is [(n.rafflesiana x n.mirabilis) x n.gracilis].

Hi Ding,
How did u get your (n.rafflesiana x n.mirabilis) x n.gracilis so red? does it need strong sunlight to enhance the color (like maroon/ black gracilis behavior) or a lot of shade (like the globosa/ viking behavior)? Since one of the parent is gracilis, i assume that it needs a lot of sunlight?

hi artificialive, as long as you concern the plant receives about 6 hours of direct sunlight. i'm not sure of the effect of the sunlight on this plant. the main reason of the pitcher's colour might be the nature of this hybrid. i hope i'd already answered your question.
