Nepenthes Fusca Pitcher Opening Timeline: Patience Required

Ishan's N. fusca has two closed pitchers, asks when they'll open. Jeff Dallas: "I have no real way of knowing that since plant growth depends entirely on your growing conditions. If temperature and light conditions are optimal, then from tendril development to open pitcher is right around a month... N. fusca is average; not super fast, not real slow either." New growers: "they are not plants for the impatient gardener." His N. ramispina took 6 months for first pitcher in window conditions.

Follow-up: Repot when crowded, too big, or soil breaking down. Volume #3 DVD has repotting details.

Good Growing!
