Hey guys. I JUST found out where to get one of these and just placed the order. Anyone have experience with this plant in lowland conditions? I turned down my heater just for the sake of this plant and managed to get days down to 85-90 degrees and nights to about 75 degrees. Does this plant prefer any special conditions like a dryer media or more air movement or more/less light or anything?
Thanks again, and I'll post pics when I get it.

you should probably just grow it like a normal clip. Warm, wet, and more air movement than normal. I would say give it bright light if growing it under lights, but if growing it outdoors, you're on your own

Lol, of course I'd be growing it in a terrarium.

Hey Clint, We've got one producing nice sized traps right now. Pitchers are up to about 8 or 9 inches tall, pale yellow with carmine spotting. We've had it a while now and find it to like typical lowland/intermediate conditions. Maybe Michelle will get a pic of it today. T.

Oh I forgot about this thread! One I moved the terrarium into the basement it started taking off! It's on it's third new leaf now. Unfortunately all of the old pitcher died during the change from constant 95% humidity to 70% humidity, but the plant is also harder for it. It's really liking the metal halide. I'll get a pic later today. Right now the temps are 70 at night, 80 in the day. During winter it should be around 50 at night, 70 in the day. Hope it can take it.

Must admit, we've noticed it may not be real happy with too many 50 degree nights. During the winter, if you can find a way to get the days up into the 80's, it would take the coldish nights better. I don't want to imply it will die, it would certainly live, but I'm sure you are looking for optimum results. With a metal halide, you have no photoperiod slow down in winter (Like us greenhouse growers).
