2 yrs ago all of my Cps died off in a terrarium fungus incident of disastrous proportions. I am starting over again, growing my CP's with more light, less humidity and more air movement.

Hello everyone
Just a few pics to share. I recently built a new enclosure for my plants and words can't describe how happy I am with the result/s...
First off is a pic I took quite a while back just to give an idea of the size of the previous enclosure (100x60x40cm) under a single 400W HPS...
This tough guy, purchased from Cook's a while back, has somewhat of a stunted growth tip but has exploded in basal shoots and ground pitchers. It's probably the result of my major condition changes these past few months. Still healthy though! He's in a 4 inch pot and will be sent potted.
I'm...
the last time i looked at this guy was May when we moved to the house. i though it was going to die as the growing tip had turned brown but i balanced the pot(inside a ziplock) next to one of my frog tanks under the lights and promptly forgot about it. tonight i happened to glance over and...

Here are some pics I took tonight. Not too much, but we haven't had any photo posts for a bit.
First, N. spectabilis:
Next, N. spatulata x maxima, a vigorous hybrid!
Here's a giant N. bongso pitcher, just starting to color up:
Here's my first decent N. singalana pitcher. This plant is...
Well, they're not that big yet, but they will be.
The parent to this hybrid is actually the plant formerly known as carunculata var. robusta. It has been combined into bongso by many taxonomists. The pitchers still look different to me, but they're more concerned with the plants other...
those who are growing it whats your experiance? ive had one for 6 or 8 months and have found it to be fairly easy. other than the first new pitchers were smaller than the ones on it when i recieved it, it showed no real stress and adapted fine for me. infact so far i would say the darn thing is...
latest jac x izumae pitcher, its a let down compared to the last suppose the uppers are going to be bland?
bongso and 'Ile de France'
ephippiata, quite happy, surprisingly hardy, almost as tolerant as my bongso
ventricosa seedlings maybe 18 months old? i ignore them. they are in an open...
hey im getting one of these about a 7" plant. wanted to know how everyone elses does for them. i wanted inermis but would rather try something that looks like it, so im going with the hybrid since bongso does well with me. then if im ok with this hybridm then i may start thinking about getting...

anyways im not going to be around much for a few more weeks i dont think, we are running on half a staff here at the paper and im not online much. will post a photo in a day or...
Does anyone have the hybrid N. bongso x maxima? It's the hybrid orchidweb used to sell, and is in a few people's collections. If you have one that you can take cuttings from, please let me know and I'll do my best to give a fair trade. This is the last one I need to get to replicate the best of...
I have a N. judith finn and it's growing well and everything, but the pitchers just won't swell. Do I need to apply ice at night or something?I'm growing it ina hanging basket with peat/perlite and topdresssed with lfs, not the green kind and the same problem applies to my bongso and it's in a...
