jeff Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Bonjour my method in terra , with always a good hygrometry 80-90% , good light,in temperature : 16°c the night 25°c sometimes more 35°c the dayin pot with pure blond peat , slightly wet . I used to compensate the loss of nitrogenous parts due to the absence of ants NPK strong enough nitrogen 23-5-5 type green plants in spray. I think ,like the nephentes, these species have 2 cultivates conditions : lowland and highland . and yours ? jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Wistuba Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Hello Jeff, I always had problems growing ant plants in terraria. I had the feeling that they need lots of air. Is your terrarium open? You have pictures of your setup? Since I grow everything in the greenhouse it works much better for me but maybe I made mistakes when trying in terraria. As a fertilizer I use Wuxal Super (8-8-6) in standard concentration. I have the feeling that ANT PLANTS NEED LOTS OF FERTILIZER. You can always permanently feed them if they have good light and the rest of conditions is nice. All the best Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DischidiaGuy Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Has there been any research in the nitrogen (or phosphorus and potassium) makeup of the detritus the ants create in the various species? Would be intriguing to see the results of such a test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff Posted February 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 I think , but maybe others here can say also, we have a same case of mutualism on Roridula but in their case it is a PAMERIDEA who plays the role of the ant. for this case we have a lot of documents . jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
