Looks great now but won't it be a complete mess when they start to grow?

That picture really is outstanding. It makes most other Hamata's look like sissies.

Congratulations schloaty. Got any pictures?

Yeah the sphagnum is also awesome.   About the lowii closeup. Are those the "white egg thingies" the lower pitchers have under the lid?

One thing about that page: At step 5 he cuts the lower part of the stem along it's length. Is this the best way? You can also do it like a cross (very short) at the bottom part right? Will roots form everywhere where you make the cut or just the lowest part?

Aaaah my eyes! Too much beauty all at once. Thanks for posting Schloaty.

SuperSphag are the chopped of growing points from the NZ stuff when it's dried. You wouldn't get the same result by just chopping LFS. Adding perlite yourself (50/50) seems to be a good Nepenthes mix. I probably don't even need peat or LFS at all since I have supersphag, perlite and live sphag...

Yeah I was also stuck on highlands only first but had problems getting a good enough temperature drop. I’m gonna modify a freezer in the near future but first this terrarium needs to be filled. It’s 50 cm high, 50 width and 160 cm long so quite big however I’ve no idea how many plants I can...

Unfortunately when I had finally fully completed my terrarium and was ready to fill it up it was already winter and too cold to safely order lowland nepenthes online. I’m currently still waiting till I can order them safely but when exactly is this? What month(/temperature) normally? The sooner...

Thanks Steve. Yeah I know it's mostly the same but since I currently only have live sphag I wonder if I should really get LFS also. What exactly happens to live sphag when it's underneath other soil and never receives sunlight anyway? Anyhoo, I think live sphag is a bit more airier right?

Which soil type is actually better for Nepenthes? Mixed with some other ingredients of course (in this case: SuperSphag and Perlite). I haven't seen LFS locally but I can easily get my hands on life sphag. Can someone tell me the Pro's and cons of each one? Thanks.

I prefer the highland one concerning colours and such but I never knew it was larger than the lowland one.. Are we talking length, width (volume), or both here?

What if it's very humid and water forms on the glass? Surely this also reflects light more?

Just so people know, you are allowed to name any Nepenthes after me no matter what.

Thanks for clearing that up Trent. Lowee-eye sounds good in English but in Dutch the first i sounds the same as the second i making lowee-ee.   And while we're on the subject; pinguicula. Is it ping-uicula or pingui-cula?
