I have over the past few years been growing Nepenthes in the greenhouse under mist and in a section that is hard to reach so that I do not fertilize them. I am about to add a fertilizer injection system to the mist this will slowly release fertilizer into the mist itself and I am wondering what kind of effect it will have on my larger plants as well as my smaller ones. Will this be deadly or will the plant stop producing traps? If so is their a way to prevent this while still using the mist? I am would like to grow these right along with my orchids and other things on this rock wall I have built but am now worried sense this fertilizer will be in the water. I have not fertilized in so long that my other plants are depleted looking the nepenthes love it but thousands of other plants hate it so I need to switch to this new system. Any advise would be great. THANKS

Here is the new area for them on the rock wall. Will this work??
