Nepenthes talangensis problems

[sarracenia21]

@ eou812 You should try.

@ zhilin Thank you very much for the info

update: The talangensis is growing a new leaf that seems to be 0.5 cm bigger than the last one

question: Can the pitchers color up if u buried the tendrils in the soil, but then exposed the green pitchers to sunlight?

@sarr: you dont need to bury the tendrils, the plant does that itself. good luck!

Update:

1. The new leaf is about 1 cm larger than the previous leaf.
2. The tendril on he last leaf is burying itself in the sphagnum.
3. The pitcher seems to have caught a few miniscule black bugs

How long does it take for the pitcher to form? I heard that it takes about 6 months, but I am not too sure

Thanks everyone

i think it can last up to six months, but in optimal conditions, pitchers should inflate and mature within 4-6 weeks...

That is quick. I thought that is the rate for normal nepenthes
However, that is something to find out

provided you have given it OPTIMAL conditions....for me---I only had a window of 3 weeks...the pitcher inflated beautifully, a 2 inch pitcher, then fell into stasis, developed little lid syndrome, and never matured...it was reabsorbed back into the plant a few months after.

Thank you very much, that should be about it....for right now.
Many thanks for helping me, as much information on the web about this species is contradictory.
