Hi Joe
yes it is cedarshavings.
I use a mix now with cedar,charcoal,foam cubes, perlite and sometimes Sphagnum.
Even villosa, hamata and macrophylla plants love the mix.
I also had some plants who didt grow for a year or more and since i planted them in the mix they started to grow.... very strange

Jens, splendid growth there. Can you explain what that angled red thing protruding out of the pot is about?
Thanks

Hi Dave thanks, i also like the plant. I also think it is the best x TM hybrid together with truncata x tm and ventricosa x tm Bye the way here a new shot of my truncata x tm  The plant have now a diameter around 70-80cm and the last pitcher is 30cm. The plant also build a new pitcher and it is already 25cm and not finished yet. I will take more and better pictures as soon my new misting system is finished and i can take out the plant Jens |

That's a sweet greenhouse, Jens! And you obviously took Mike's drip system lessons to heart. Congratulations!!!

nice set up... im wondering about the water pressure coming out from those tubes... do they spray mists, squirts water, or water drips as the name suggested... great plants as always

OMG
I think that maybe the irrigation system should have been run below the bench. I can see futuristic problems of the vines climbing through them reaching the top (unless that was your plan) and moving them will also be problematic as when vines clamber together.
But I should realize that you will meticulously trim, prune and keep everything at bay. As they always appear so well manicured. If I made a set up like that here, you would never see the irrigation tubes anymore and people will say they were there intentionally for the climbing vines.
See how fast a greenhouse fills up?

@ bonsay they just drop. The hoses give out 0,6L per hour rainforestYes i also optaines the first Problems. It is really hard to take out Plants or make good Pictures. I hold on to build a better system for the plants. Oh yes the greenhouse is nearly full. the other side is also filled up. i didnt know that it get so fast, haha. Also the plants grow fast like never before, even in the trailer they was slower, unbelievable. Jens |
