Ping won't produce carnivorous leaves

  • #21
I have many. Most are breaking dormancy now. But a few (mostly moranensis types) grew carnivorous leaves through most of the winter and started going to the winter/succulent stage a month or so ago, AFTER I had increased daylength.

very strange ,your cultivate condition it's the same ?

Are the moranensis in terra? You watered them? and now ?

Yes, they're in the same trays under the same lights. I don't know what you mean by "in terra." Soil? I grow them in a mixture of perlite, arcillite, pumice, sand and a little peat. And they are getting water. Light is 6500K

A few examples - cyclosecta, laueana x emarginata, 'Sethos' x gypsicola, 'R Ellis' -- awake or waking up.

Agnatas and agnata hybrids in winter mode or just showing signs of transition (here: Pirouette)

Moranensis - mostly either still dormant (moranensis J, though one is growing summer leaves now):

...or didn't go dormant during the winter despite lower temps, decreased light (both in intensity and duration) and water, and started going dormant a little over a month ago (Moranensis 'Mexicana,' 'ANPA A' and 'Vera Paz.':

Sp. 'Lautner' has also gone dormant but it is fairly new to my collection - I only got it 2 months ago - and it had been growing warm, so the transition to my cooler conditions probably triggered dormancy.

I'm not worried: they are generally very healthy. This was my first winter with these, so it may be just their reaction to different conditions, especially temperature regime. The room they grow in is unheated. It does get some heat from the rest of the house but the temperature changes generally follow (though warmer) the outside temperature changes.

I notice that 1-month pullings from laueana are growing summer leaves while the parent plant is still firmly in winter mode, though it bloomed all winter.

I'm going to do some experiments with moranensis J since I have several of the same clone, moving one upstairs to a warmer part of the house, another to an east window, and just see what happens.

Bonjour

terra = terrarium

yes, your ping are in good shape , still dormant or just out .

But a few (mostly moranensis types) grew carnivorous leaves through most of the winter and started going to the winter/succulent stage a month or so ago, AFTER I had increased daylength.
for that I do not understand.

Either they are dormant, have emerged or about to do so, but from there dormant in this season there is a problem of grow condition in my opinion
