Nepenthes rebecca soper

[coconut]

I bought it from a small flowers shop in Toronto, spring time of last year, a tiny plant in a 3 in. bone dry pot. I was looking for a briggsiana and end up bought this one.
Now I have 3 plants and the pitchers produce a delicate flower's smell inside my GH. Casual and lovely ...
Would like to see yours !

Your Rebecca Soper looks so healthy! I'm also kinda jealous that yours smells good, heh. My own sense of smell isn't great, but as far as I can tell, none of my nepenthes smell like anything at all.

Here's my bigger N. Rebecca Soper -- arguably my largest nepenthes. It's looking pretty dehydrated right now. In fact, it's usually looking pretty dehydrated; every time I go out of town for more than a week, this guy suffers. Then it takes another 5 months to recover and grow new leaves. Poor fella deserves better.

But! It's now starting to put out transitional pitchers! I'm excited for it (it's the first nepenthes that I've grown since it was small that has done this!) , even though they're objectively not as pretty as the lower pitchers.

Consider using a wicking system for when you go away for a few days. ICPS posted a video a few months ago with someone who uses wicks for all their CPs.

EDIT: Found the video here

Thanks, I'll give that a look.

I tried a wicking system a few years ago and it didn't work super well. Somehow the wick ended up both growing gross stuff *and* drying out (despite sitting in a reservoir of water). I'm not sure how I managed that. IIRC it was just a regular cotton string. I assume there's some trick to the technique that everybody thinks is too obvious to mention.
