Hi Folks,
I have searched and searched the internet for cultivation info on a couple of neps I am attempting to grow from seeds. I found some good stuff, but there are a few remaining species I need some info on. Can anyone fill me in on their experience with the following neps? Any tricks I should be aware of?

N. Alata, N. Sanuinea and N. Vieillardii

Thanks in advance!

i believe the reason you didnt get any info on N. Sanuinea is because you spelt it wrong it is. N.sanguinea.

DOH!
Thanks sar0!

I'll try THAT one again...
 
My Nepenthes Sanguniea goes through warm days and cool nights; the humidity varies throughout the day (65%-90%). The plant is currently in a mix of peat and perlite.

That's my experience.

I have an N vieillardii, but I can't give much advice since mine is struggling to survive multiple bird attacks.

I believe though that this particular species prefers higher humidity than most. Other than that, give it warm temps.

I also have a N alata "spotted" plant as well as a N sanguinea and they grow fine in lowland/intermediate conditions.

I ave a N. Snguinea also only I grow mine in lowland reather then highland and it producesses way bigger pitchers than it used to. The pitchers size is about 3inches I will post a pic up whenI gt a chance.
