| | 6.Do not order plants until you have a chamber, soil, and pots ready. In order words, don't wait for the plants to arrive before you start getting your butt in gear. The day the plants arrive is not the day you need to go to Home Depot and buy the materials to make a grow chamber for them. Nepenthes are usually very durable, but some are highly traumatized with travel and transplanting. Making sure you have everything ready to go when the plants arrive makes the experience much more enjoyable for you, as well as the plants.
在你把空間，土壤，盆子準備好之前不要買植物阿。換句話說，就是在你準備萬全之前你就不要等待你的植物到來。植物到來的那天不是你要去準備植物器材的那天阿。大部分的豬龍草大部分都很∼雜草∼可是在經過運送旅行的過程中，常會嚴重的受傷，請確定當植物到達的時候你已經為他準備好一切。請記取這個經驗∼這樣你和你的植物都會很∼飲舊椅∼「享受」
7.Do not use your tap water unless you know it is safe for Nepenthes. Tap water that measures above 100ppm is too hard for long term watering. You would either have to transplant into fresh soil every 6 months or a year, or find a source of water that is much purer, such as collecting rain water or buying a reverse osmosis unit. Chlorine levels above 5ppm may also be too high. In this case you could leave your tap water standing in an open container for 48 hours, which will cause the chlorine to evaporate out of the water.
除非你知道這對他沒有傷害，不然不要用你加的自來水。自來水被測出有100PPM的物質，影響水質的硬度，長久的澆水對植物會不好，不然你也必須每半年或一年移植他們到新鮮的泥土。不然你就得找個純淨水源，像是，雨水，或是買套逆滲透設備吧。水中超過5PPM的氯也不好，知道前述事實，那你應該要準備一個容器裝這些水，經過48HRS後，水中的氯會自動的散掉到空氣中。
8.Do not assume your tap water can not be used. There are many places in this country where tap water can be used readily to water your plants. Find out your water's quality from your water company. Here in Memphis, TN, in the eastern part of the county where I live the water is only 25ppm, and I have used it extensively for 25 years. The western part of the county receives their water supply from a second aquifer, which is not as deep as ours. Their water has a level of 125ppm, making it marginal for use. The main point is don't invest in expensive reverse osmosis units if it's not necessary. Your water quality report is usually readily available from your supplier. Nepenthes are some of the most forgiving CP plants as far as water quality is concerned, so don't think that your water isn't going to be acceptable to them. There's a good chance it will.
不要以為你的自來水就不可以用喔，有些地方的自來水是可以灌溉你的植物的啦，去看看你自來水公司提供的水品質就可以知道了。在我住的東孟菲斯市，，水質硬度只有25PPM，還有我已經用了這裡的水灌溉長達25年，而西半部的水是採自第二水層的水，所以水質就沒有我們的好，他們的水質程度是在125PPM，這就超出我們使用的範圍了。除了必要外，我們是不需要購買昂快的逆滲透設備的。你的水質報告通常可以藉由你的水源供應者取得。豬籠草，是部分適應性好的食蟲植物，就水質來說是不必要太擔心的，所以不要想說你的水會不太適合他們，碰碰運氣啦。
9.Do not place a lot of trust in cultivation instructions for a plant that is dated. There have been several books on cultivation written over the past 25 or so years. Adrian Slack's books are now quite old, but are still very popular. However, some of the information is dated. While Slack's books are recommended reading, check on current cultivation tips as well. Peter D'Amato's "The Savage Garden" in mandatory reading. I am not aware of any books that have been dedicated to the cultivation of Nepenthes, although one is sorely needed.
不要相信一些過時有關植物的文件，有很多書的著作時間已經超過25年了。像是Adrian Slack's book對今天來說已經太老舊了，但是他還是十分熱門。不管怎麼樣，他有很多資訊已經過時了。而While Slack's books是一本值得推薦的書，確認過他的栽植方法還蠻不錯的，Peter D'Amato's "The Savage Garden"是必須讀的一本書。我並沒有對其他豬籠草的書所專注的種植方法有所專注，但是這本書卻是絕對需要的。
