I did remove a great deal of the moss from the pots; and there are, after all, something on the order of seventy-five species of Polytrichum -- some greener; some more vascular in appearance; some less so; and they vary in size. It was more of an issue when the plants were seedlings . . .
Ahrg... And mines starting to get shrinky dinkie at the moment...it was growing fine up until a week ago put out a tiny new leaf and i think its maybe my light its a 250 watt cfl light but its been kinda hot ...so im not sure if that's the case or if im loosing my mind. But yours looks great hun. The atten is doing great but it may be getting shrinky leave to... Any advice on keeping fluid in the seedling pitchers cause i wanna try and feed them but without fluid they turn blackish.
WOw!
Loos like I need to send my Eddys to BigBella's Highland Health Spa....
There's no control in this setting, so there's zero scientific evidence of it not being a myth. One could just as easily equate it to the orchid fertilizer (much more scientifically likely), or the OP's favorable growing conditions/media.And people say that coffee is a myth..
Not to take away from the awesome plant, as it certainly is awesome, but we have to remember that correlation does not equal causation.
This coffee thing May be fun to try some time, do you have time to explain how to do this coffee method?
Hah...I wish. I may have access to enough cheapo seed to do a fair experiment, though.Of course, should you have a statistically-significant number of Nepenthes edwardsiana and other highlanders with which to experiment upon, I would gladly receive them . . .
Right now, I've seen no evidence that coffee would have any specific reason to benefit the plants. The NPK of it is so negligible: "coffee: 0.000848 -- 0.0099 -- 0.0976." Of course, that doesn't mean it doesn't work, it just means there's little known reason that it would.
Hey BigBella!
Been a long time since I have been on here. You might remember me?
