    N. Ventricosa not growing pitchers

    Hello, I'm sure this is a common question/problem, but my N. Ventricosa isn't growing pitchers and I thought it'd be best to post pictures. I'm growing it under four T5HO fluorescent lights, on for about 12-14 hours per day. Water it with distilled water every few days and I don't let it sit in...

    Indoor Carnivores

    Almost all of my indoor carnivores live in a tropical terrarium in my reptile room. The only exception is my N. alata, who is a lot more tolerant of general household conditions (fluctuating temps and humidity) than my other carnivores. The terrarium.

    ridiculously cheap and easy chained lighting

    I'm sure at some point in this hobby you've had four CFLs screwed into four clamp lights plugged into one power strip plugged into one timer. It gets unwieldy fast. I solved that problem for myself a while back, and while putting together another lighting chain today I realized someone on the...

If I'm wrong, please correct) and four nepenthes in it(maxima poso, miranda...

    U. quelchii and U. cornigera

    Anyone growing these two species? A friend passed them to me and they were in the ambient room temperature (>77F) for 2 weeks before I moved them into an air-conditioned room. The leaves now have a yellow edge and I hope I am not killing them! What are the best temperatures and the light...
