NASC Auction will open in...

Read the rules first :)
NASC auction is OPEN!!

New H. minor

Received it on Saturday. I asked that it be shipped potted, and I think it's because of this that it has gone into little to no shock. Of course, it could also be that I'm using the baggy method to be sure it doesn't go into humidity shock too bad. It's one of my favorite plants, so I'm hoping things go well this summer.

It's a little under 4" tall.

For the record, it's growing in a terrarium, I just took it outside for the better lighting.
 
Sweetness! I've always wanted to get one. But most are expensive.
 
Here it is today. Two pitchers died off, but it has colored up nicely and you can't see it in the photo, but it's sending up what looks to be a new pitcher. :)

And here's my newish baby hetero x minor, putting out it's first pitcher under my care.

Conditions? Hummm...right now it's like 65-70 during the day, going into the 50s and hopefully upper 40s at night. I haven't stayed up late enough to check since I moved the terra into the garage.
As for lights...managed to cram two 150W cfl, two 15W tubes, and a 20W tube on the top of the terra, which is a 30G. Don't know anything about lumens, but my plants tell me I've got enough light.
 
Nice Heli :)
I am getting one of these soon - except mine is being imported from Australia in a TC flask - so it will probably be dead by the time I get it!
Yours looks great though :)
