yes that looks very similar to this one I've got. I saw it first time last spring. There it had the size of yours. I was to lazy to go out to greenhouse (it's cold and rainy). But the juncus which is growing in my basement is also over 1m.

Wow. This is a great forum. Amazing 'jungle' you got there.

Oh hi... I am new here. I just got myself my very first nep and was told that my house isn't the right place to grow them..... need a cooler night temp.

Now, I am looking for inspiration and ideas on how to fix the cooler night temp issue.
Your basement is really inspiring.

Many thanks for your comment!
You get at night already a cooling because the light isn't burning anymore. In my basement that is a temperature drop of about 5°C which seems to be enough. They produce pitchers, basals and even flower. I think this night cooling is a bit overrated. There are for sure some of the extreme species which are needing this but most not.
