Hey Dustin - Thanks....And I do beleive I STILL owe you a shoot. After failing to root the last one, I'm as shy to cut it as a nerd at his first dance.

Really! Man...really nice campanulata plants!!!!
I have also received one...(or better 2 because I had fear for its dead) of campanulata from Christian Klein! ( when I went to Praga to the EEE carnivorous meeting).
His clones are with RED peristome if this can help you. I will post a pic of its campanulata when it arrived me 2 months ago!
Listen...I love so much this plants that I took 2 in case of some problems...
I have some questions:
1) Do this plant need light or she like light shadowing?
2) What are your cultivation tips for this plant?
Someone say that this plant is a lowland and some say highland....which one is the true? What are your temperatures?
3) Campanulata is a humidity demanding nepenthes like ampullaria and bicalcarata or could it grow close to a window in lowland conditions temperatures? What are the values of your humidity?
Please tell me more than possible.I simply love this plant.
Bye!

HAR! Don't let my wife hear you say the first part! LOL!
1) Well, mine seems to like being about 6" (15 cm?) under the lights I use (65 watt compact fluorecent - roughly 8600 lumens or so, I think). So it does like high light. I also successfully grew it in an east-facing window that only got a little morning light (trees in the way), and then just ambient light thereafter. I also had three regular 4' twin flurescent tubes over the tank at that time.
2) I'm growing it as a true lowlander (in with the bicalcarata). Though I've heard they do just as well in an intermediate set up, I've never tried it. I've never heard of it being grown as a highlander.
3) I'm fairly certain it's humidity-sensetive...at least the pitchers. They're not very sturdy. However, I've never experimented with it outside the tank. I'd say the humidity stays above 75% all the time...Usually over 80%. I do have the top only about 90% covered so fresh air can circulate in....I think that is helpfull.
All in all, I have a very easy time with it. I mean, it's been more dependable for me even then my gracilis and my raflesiana! Maybe I just got blessed with a really hearty individual plant, I don't know.
