FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

I got this gigantea x laueana at the beginning of February. Ping soil mix, watering tray with distilled water only. The lighting is crap but I’m in the process of putting a new plant shelf together with grow lights that are causing my variegated string of pearls to blush so I think the lighting is insufficient. I have a house where all windows are covered by a porch, so lighting is necessary. My laueana x emarginata cross has gone neon green from purple so I am assuming the lighting has something to do with the tendrils off the gigantea.

I noticed today that she’s got these weird tendrils coming off that seem to actually be attached to the plant. What would cause this? I couldn’t find any info on this anywhere.

Roots.

^^^^What he said, just roots. My emarginata x juamavensis, Pinguin, did the same thing the first year I had her.

Wow, thanks!

in my opinion changes substrate, a more calcareous substrate will do him good.
you can, when the weather is better, leave it outside in the shade until October.
do not always leave it with water in the cup
