Very well written. Giving the pitcher heights for various species is a great idea!

An excellent article. Full of information and makes you want to read more and more. You can almost picture the plants growing on the tepuis. You and Matt should write a book.

Fantastic job Francois. A very nice detailed writeup on the use of freeze dried bloodworms. I have also noticed improvements in my plants since I started feeding them those. Although nowadays I find quite a few spiders/centipedes in the basement and I throw those in the pitchers.

Nice varun! Sometimes the 'boost' can be spectacular. Its a very nitrogen rich fish/reptiles food. Spiders and centipedes are great too. In fact, from my experience, spiders are the only insect(arachnids, thanks Lloyd!) who bring the same amazing results. Proteins(n7) and chitin bring insects's exoskeletons(bodydrymass). So lil guys like spiders, dragonflies, bee, wasps(...) have massive exoskeletons, so they have a highter level of nitrogen. Outside all the others growing parameters, the way a plant is feeded can make all the difference between a nice plant, and a spectacular plant. Its a very interesting subject Francois
