[zephyrae13]

ok, here we go. #1 is 7 finger, houseplant, gets huge! #5 Christmas cactus, will get big, succulent. #6 a succulent i forget the name of #7 Jade plant, long lived succulent houseplant, gets big! #9.... Adiantum maybe? #10 clubmoss Selengina, hardy little things. #11 Helix hedera, english ivy, a creeper, with pruning will do wonderfully. #12 Phalenopsis orchid. Likes it humid, nights in the 60 degrees F - dappled sun in 80 F. must be in an orchid potting mix, or mounted in a humid environment. as far as your pitcher plant goes, and for your other carnivorous plants, plant them in sphagnum moss, humid environment, and only water with either distilled water, or rainwater. (this goes for the phalenopsis too, no tap water! Filtered water should be ok, and only at room temp!) Tap water will kill them and raise the pH beyond what they like. keep them in a warm humid place.

The Nepenthes should NOT require water being added to the pitchers -- they produce their own liquid. (Sarracenia, on the other hand, do require water being poured into the pitchers ... but don't use tap water.) Sphag is often not a great idea for Neps as it is often too water retentive. A more airy mix such as orchid bark mixed with peat would be better. Btw, most Neps will get far too be for a terr.
