Hello growers! I went away for a few weeks, and now that I'm back, my dear Hamata surprised me... with a new leaf growing deformed, it looks cracked. 
Removed the moss from on top in search of any insects or anything it might have, but I didn't find anything. Before leaving, I noticed the leaf was a little strange; since it was still rolled up, though, I assumed it just needed to develop. I've been told that sometimes Hamatas do things like this due to light stress, and also that it could be mites. I checked the leaves and didn't find anything, also inside the pitchers and I haven't found anything either. It doesn't seem to be aborting any pitchers and none of the other neps next to it seem to have any anomalies.
On Mondays, they are watered completely, and on Thursdays, I only water the moss if it looks dry. The only thing that might have been different from what I usually do was the manual misting, which I normally do twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. The person who helped me take care of them only misted them at night. This plant has been growing with me since August 2025 so I’ll appreciate any experince you may share. Thank you so much for reading!
Parameters in my highland terrarium are:
Day: 70 - 77 F
Night: 53 - 57 F
RH: 60 - 85, 75 most of the time.
