Giving Your Nepenthes A Hard Repot
Vložit
- čas přidán 19. 01. 2021
- Sometimes Nepenthes require all the soil to be removed from their roots. Pests and broken down medium are two main reasons to give your plants a hard repot. This type of repotting requires the removal of all old soil. The plants don’t like this process as much and it definitely takes some time to get comfortable with. Once they settle, they will respond with new roots and fresh growth. In this video I’ll show you how I give my plants a hard repot.
Thanks,
Dom

I just came across this Channel. Its really high quality. Keep it up!
Welcome to the Channel! Thank you!
I absolutely love your videos! Im literally watching them all back to back💃🏾👌🏾🌿💜🌿💜
Excellent video! Thank you.
Thanks Dom
Hey mate gotta thank you.I watched your vids and started looking in Australia and found EP didn’t realise that you where talking about them until after I spoke to the guys there. 😊. They are awesome 👍
Nice video, thanks !
Oh I’m glad I saw this. My nepenthes has been in the same pot for years and needs a repotting but I’ve been a bit afraid to tackle it. Also, I was trimming off a dead section and accidentally cut off a long piece of live plant, so I watched your video on propagation….hope to have several more plants!
Excellent! You are the Napenthes Guru!
Very helpful -- I inherited a plant which needs this treatment. Thank you much !
Great video
Very useful thanks!! Although is sad seeing a big Truncata (only half ik) cause my baby Truncata is not doing too well xc .
Nice video. Love your presentation, very inviting, to the point without a lot of extraneous distractions. Kudos. I watched to find out how deep you buried the stem. I will guess roots do not come from the old leaf nodes on the stem and would cause a problem. Is that right? I had wanted to pot mine up deeper to avoid staking it.
New video from of favorite nepenthes channel 💪😏
I’m back.
🥰🥰🥰
I just repotted my BIG nepenthes mirand in 50% sphagnum moss and 50% perlite, thanks for sharing this information, hope it likes its new home!
hi there, love the video! How do you treat spagnum moss to prevent transfer of diseases? Thanks in advance for clarifying, much appreciated!
Hey Dom, I have a very healthy Sanguinea that's a least 5 years old; and I haven't repotted it since I got it. If I repot it now will it affect the pitchers it's forming now? I can tell there's a few HUGE ones coming in and I'd hate to lose them. Should I even bother, or wait until fall when the plants' growth slows?
I'm glad I found your channel, you're videos are great!
Super vidéo merci
Salut
Thank you 🙂
I've been needing to get to this on one of my plants, she's stopped pitchering for me and has been in the same pot for almost two years lol
Sounds like a good time to repot and up the humidity:)
I’m totally straight, and married, but I think I have a man crush on Dom and his nepenthes expertise. Definitely planning on driving up to Red Leaf in the spring.
Mine is due this year for this. I'm procrastinating for sure.
Yeah, never fun but Worth it:)
Thank you so much. My Nep arrived in peat moss and I am a bit scared to put it in sphagnum and pearlite.
Nice. I use rainwater for all my carnivores, just dont have the capacity for that much ro water, but they do seem to love it.
Nothing like rain water :)
I wish I have collections like those in the background
Anything is possible:)
@@redleafexotics4722 ive heard around the community that you stole some plants a while back, so does that help the collection grow faster? any tips?
Great video! Did you use city water while washing with your hose, or was it RO/rain water? Thanks!
Reverse osmosis is always used when taking care of the plants. Thanks!
Great question!
Dom, what are your thoughts on adding charcoal to the soil mix? Thank you for the great video as always!
I find it unnecessary. Sphagnum and perlite is the universal go to and they love it. Thanks!
Good vid should help people out 2 thumbs up bro
What about when planting in live spaghnum moss ? Do you still use 50% perlite ?
Hi any ideas what it means when a pitcher opens its lid before its developed ? Thanks
Hi mate, thanks for the video. I’m going to experiment with 100% wood fibre. What conditions would justify a hard repot though? What if the plants happy and just needs more space?
Hi there I just got myself a new nepenthes and it’s not looking to good from what I’m seeing can you please give me some advice on how its doing and if I should do some repotting it is in soil
I have a many years old, large, vigorous growing, abuse tolerant hybrid that was still in its original small hanging pot. Always putting on pitchers. It was getting hard to keep moist. When i went to repot it last weekend it was all roots. It's so wrapped around what looks like old bark that I was only able to remove a little layer on the outside. Very firm. I just wrapped it in sphagnum and put it in a larger pot. It's outside in hot humid Florida and I've not had to water it for a week. The sphagnum is magic. Should i repot it again and really crack that rootball open or just leave it? It seems happy as is.
You wouldn’t by any chance know who Daymon from California California Carnivores is? I think you both would make excellent videos together! I switch back and forth between your channels because there’s so much good information. Good video, thanks for taking the time to make them!
Of course I know Damon. They make some great vids and have a wonderful collection! You’re welcome and thanks for tuning in:)
I live in the Ca desert. When should I repot? I have mine in the house in a sunny window and seems happy with lots of pitchers, but the spoil is about 1/2 gone. Should I wait to spring or do it know.
I always do hard repots then ^^
Sphagnum moss is really hard to find in my country, and if you do find it, it is crazy expensive.
You recon a mixture of peat moss, perlite and orchid bark would be fine too?
In my experience Perlite/peat mixes can be used for nepenthes, but the plant won't get very big, and the growth will be slow.
Dom,
Do you wet your new potting mix beforehand? Next question. I have a Nepenthes X Ventrada that has geometric hole patterns in the leaves and the growing shoots are browning. I am growing in Coco Noir and within the last six weeks placed some more Coco Noir from an off brand that might have not weathered enough to remove the salts.
What do you think about this? Any words of wisdom for me? Should I immediately do a hard repot?
The sphagnum moss is kept in a tub and always lightly moist before mixing in. I don’t use soaking wet sphagnum.
The coco coir can really mess things up if it’s not washed and rinsed. I soak mine overnight and replace the water every morning for 3 days.
It’s hard to say what’s going on without pics. You can send an email to redleafexotics@gmail.com
I’ll take a look.
Thanks!
Great vid! Is that tap water of rain water coming out of hose? Regards from Alberta Can
Thanks! It’s reverse osmosis water. We never us straight hose water. Ours isn’t the best!
advice regarding mycorrhizal fungi root addition?
I haven’t used it. Usually keep it pretty simple and they don’t seem to mind. Would be interesting to see the results:) I believe one grower on Instagram was adding it to the soil. If you try, let me know.
Thanks!
Should I use 100 percent perlite for carnivorous plants?
Do I need to clip off the pitchers to repot? My pitchers just came in and itd be a shame to cut them off
How much spagnum moss and how much perlite? Can you use peat moss as well?
I often wonder how Nepenthes would do in smaller size leca/semi-hydro. I’d like to try it, since premium sphagnum is so expensive, yet I don’t want to risk losing them.
I just got this plant and I used the Carnivores soil to.plant it in ..Do I need to Change it?and do I need to set it In Water ?
I got my first Nepenthes but when I was potting it, I think I broke most of its roots off It’s a baby plant and it’s roots are so easy to break. How can I help my plant heal after all this root damage?
Where do you buy your sphagnum moss? my plants are getting pretty big and I need to bulk by my sphagnum.
I do not know if this will help you but I purchase from Lowe's Hardware Store, "Premium Grade, Better-Gro (TM), Orchid Moss".
What is impressive is that while it comes from New Zealand, I just add RO Water to this dry Sphagnum Moss and it is alive.
I guess it goes into dormancy when dry but if it does not age substantially it lives.
I hope that helps.
eBay, artisan gardens to name a couple:
Nice 👍
Do you add fertilizer after the move or when do you add plant fertilizer.
Usually allow the plant to settle and grow a leaf or more before fertilizing:)
@@redleafexotics4722 ok cool, and do we need to water everyday or every other day in that time ?
What do you do with the old sphagnum and perlite?
Compost and bog gardens
I was going to object to you calling the potting medium soil.... but it's broken down enough that, yeah, it's soil. ;)
I am in Thailand and I want to make a greenhouse but I am not sure how much sunlight they need (all day, half the day or else.) Because it is really sunny and really hot about 35c and may be up to 39. And is it ok to away use tap water?
Nice video! It looks like you're transferring to a lower grade sphagnum moss in the video, is there an ideal grade for growing neps that you would recommend?
And does a lower grade make much difference?
What makes you think it’s “lower grade” sphagnum?
@@TheEtienneDavis looks more yellow/brown, compared to the lush green colour he was using previously
@@brettsteel8958 the green could be one of two things IMO. Algae or live moss
There are different types of sphagnum size and grade. Sometimes the plants have love moss growing on top when we repot. We don’t repot into live green moss. The fresh medium always looks light colored and dry like this. Thanks
When you're talking and the misting system goes off and you gotta run away or youll get a sticky shower 😂
Is the water you're using to clean the roots off just hose water correct? I was worried I would have to use distilled for that step..
i have a 23 year old nepenthes (most likely sanguinia). should I break it down and do a hard repot and take a few cuttings?
I want to get a nepenthes, and my main question is can well water be used for watering/reporting like this or should I get distilled (or something else?
Hey there, the key is water low in salts and minerals. If your well water is below 100ppm is can be good for them. We only use rain or reverse osmosis. I have watered them plenty of times with home water growing up and they did just
Fine. I just don’t suggest it these days ha
What do you do with the old substrate ?
I use it for Compost and bog gardens
You used regular water?
Do you think a TDS of 35 is good enough for most nepenthes? I can't get it any lower
Hoping someone can help me, I bought a nepenthe about 2 months ago. Was doing great.. started looking ill.. looked in the pot and about 3 inches in under the sphagnum was soil... how can,a save it.. I took it out the soil
Do these need special water like distilled water?
They prefer it, but can do well on lower ppm tap water. A ppm/tds reader is an easy way to check your water and they are cheap. Looking for below 50ppm or else salts build up and can harm the plant. Thanks!
Do you have nepenthes aristolochioides ? I am from indonesia in west sumatra
urgh! its gonna be a pain to remove the old soil from the roots. its peatmoss and my hose ppm is too high meaning i have to use distilled water
From my experience with Sarracenia peat moss is way easier to remove than sphagnum.
What type of water do you spray your Napenthes with?
Do you ship to Mexico?
Hey, not yet. Hopefully in the future!
Thanks
@@redleafexotics4722, that's a shame. Will or would you sell fresh seeds?
🤔 technically is referred as media not soil. Nepenthes uses a soil-less media
Wow who knew getting hard was so easy ? I mean a hard repot is easy.
Plz share email ID...want to purchase
I want to purchase..plz share email id
Thanks Dom
You’re welcome!
