I got this two at reasonable price so I made a deal and risk to try to grow them in my LL city.
The seller put them indoor and only use cool humidifier that keep them around 70-100% humidity with only 26'c/78' F at night. He said its ok for them. But i want them to be cooler in my hand.
I put them indoor inside a poorman HL terrarium, laminated with tinfoil, filled with hydroton.
Humidity is around 50% at day and 60-70% at night (when I turned on the humidifier it reach 100% humidity).
At day the temperature is around 28' C/82' F and at night I put a coolerpack so the temperature reach 16'-18' C/60-64 F and slowly turned into 26' C/ 78' F in the morning during 8 hours period.
I put the Jamban in a mix of LFS, Perlite, and topped with live moss. The Glabrata is more airy & gravy by a mix of more perlite, bark, akadama. A bit of LFS and topped with live moss.
So the questions are :
How about the humidity? Should I keep it at 50-60% at day and 100% at night? And when people say high humidity is beneficial for Nepenthes, by is humidifier enough or there must be a droplet on their leaves like when I mist them?
Can I put them in an aluminium pot so it can absorb cold better? Or there is some danger from the reaction between aluminium & water? Because I never see a grower that grow them in a metal pot.
This is their fourth day in my house. I want to know is their leaf discoloration is caused by the shock during the shipment & transplant shock or the deathly sign it will die soon? I received them with this condition. But the black coloration on Glabrata seems growing wider slowly. Should I cut it off?
And what's the different between coloration LED and white bulb LED? Im in dillema to put them in coloration LED growlight or with a 40w 6500K white coolday light bulb? I see most grower put Nepe only with white bulb. Why?
