(I think that's how you spell, correct me if I'm wrong).
Can anyone tell me their highland requirements? Can anyone tell me how big they get? And can anyone post a picture of their plant in a terrarium (not too young!)?

heres mine: mine has been a bit fussy of the conditions i give it. i have warmer than average days and it doesnt seem to like it much. it gets very cool at night however and is starting to pitcher again. humidity is always high and im starting to water with cool water from the top. it has gotten much happier over the past week or so it really prefers cool conditions with humidity and cool overhead watering. the mix is also pretty open at a 2:1 cypress mulch : LFS mix. drains really well yet dosent dry out too fast. as for size. thats a 2.5in pot i think....that or 3in. thats an older pic too. my terrarium is what you see in the first pic in the background. 10gal on its side Alex

Your plant is PO'ed because it has spider mites on it. You can clearly see the webs in the second and third photographs.

its not. its a small spider that lives in the dead leaves. ive seen wrapped up fungus gnats and such in its little "lair" ive had spider mites before...and i dont think this is them... SL: sure it stays small....until its starts to vine. after it starts that it can grow VERY fast and it can grow several meters long.

Hello Glider,
Well good luck with it. I had spidermites on my plants and that is exactly what their webbing looked like. I also had a couple of small spiders present which I thought were making the webbing as well. Then the plants started a very steep decline... So I used a hand lens and saw the tiny mites walking about on the leaves.
