Hey guys...
I have a Gublers Nepenthes that is about 8 inches from tip to tip, and it's currently hardening off in my living room, where the humidity was higher, and has recently dropped do to the weather.
I am going to buy a large square basin, fill it with river pebbles and then fill that with water, and set that nepenthes, the two ventricosa, and my wifes phaleonopsis orchid on there, it should raise the local humidity a tad...
But my thoughts wandered, obviously, this won't matter much in a year or three, when the plant has significantly grown in size, and it's pitchers buds are far from the water filled tray...
SO... Do you think that the more moderate plants can cope with a greater lack of humidity, to a degree, the larger they get? For instance, will N. Ventricosa at 5 years be able to take a lack of humidity better than one that is only 8 inches across?
My gut says yes, thicker tissues and all.. but I am not sure...
