Hey guys,
I am new to antplants and seem to have a hard time getting some basic info to grow these plants.
What is the ppm tolerance in term of water ? I am assuming that i should be using distilled water as much as possible ?
I'd use that with some diluted fertilize.
Thanks !!r

Thanks Lloyd.
I got a bottle of schultz liquid plant food concentrate 10-15-10. You guys think that it would be suitable for it ?

Thanks guys for the tips.
I also saw people growing theirs in either open/weaved pots with lots of holes all around. I understand that these normally require moist conditions and not waterlogged just like nepenthes. Do regular pots work with those or should I drill holes all around ? I also have access to coconot coir pots which help for evaporating more quickly the media.
I will be using a mix of long fiber moss, perlite and some orchid mix including bark and lava rock.

Bonjour I use normal pots without holes, with pure peat as substrate. I did not try but baskets, style baskets to aquatic plant (then perforated) could be a more We can also use bark of cork, with the same method as the orchid (in this case the watering must be more frequent) all these ant plant ( some dischidia , lecanopteris - some rubiaceae : myrmecodia, hydnophytum and the 3 others) grow in epiphytic on trees jeff
