It's so convenient now that I got it, just hook it up and forget it for a little bit. It does take a while though if you need a lot of water...

I used to use distilled water, but since I got an RO unit I thought I would use that for my sundews. It has a TDS of 4-10. Is that ok?

I wish I could say I was a frogger, but I was never really satisfied with my twin 20's, so for now they're just pretty bromeliad chambers. Thanks for all the complements! They get fed bloodworms, but not too often. I had a question, if you can see in this picture at the bottom right pot I have...

I wish I could say I was a frogger, but I was never really satisfied with my twin 20's, so for now they're just pretty bromeliad chambers. Thanks for all the complements! I had a question, if you can see in this picture i have a small what I believe is Cape 'narrow leaf' growing. How do I...

Would it be detrimental to keep it at this humidity?

It's just the nature of the substrate, it's a mixture of peat, lfs, orchid bark, charcoal, and tree fern fiber...

Here's an update if anyone is interested:

Ok, here's an update, I think I helped it recover pretty well. The pot is in a water tray, that's actually protecting it from about 1-2 centimeters of water that's in the aquariuam (it's a 5 gallon) to keep the humidity up...

No...

The media is ABG mix (2 parts tree fern fiber, 1 part peat moss, 2 parts cocofiber, 1 part charcoal, and 2 parts orchid bark.) The temperature is around 76-78 in the day and 68 at night. Humidity is pretty low, but the soil is moist. I think going from winter->summer maybe had something to do...

Any idea on what may be causing this?

Aw, thanks. I was going to ask, does anybody know what that plant bordering the spatulata is? I was thinking maybe some sort of bladderwort hitch-hiked in...

D. dielsiana (or at least that's what it was labeled as) D. spatulata D. spatulata x capensis D. aliciae D. capenis (Typical, Red, Albino, and Narrow leaf)

Here is my Ventricosa 'Red,' it's about 4-5" in diameter and seems to be doing good so far, but the pitchers are dying. I'm thinking maybe transplant shock? It could also be that the humidity is too low or the soil is too moist, but I'm not really sure...

Maybe it's algae or bacterial slime. I imagine the pitcher naturally decayed and lost the ability to produce an acidic environment to inhibit these things...
