If you ra elooking for a smaller species than glabrata or gymnamphora will be the candidates.

Nep alata is an easy plant to grow. Why don't you grow it?

It doesn't get VERY big.

Hi Ed

Only some form of N alata are compact growers......Some are like butcase growers.....N ventricosa is also a compact grower but once it strats vining it takes off very fast....

My dad kinda didn't let me build my terrarium until today he told me there will be kinda a secluded place where i can put my terrarium there....

This is the measuremnt of my box i am putting it in a taller position well i just turn it the other way(you get what i mean right?)

Anyways it has about a length of 13"=33cm It goes around 12"= 31/5cm deep and its height is around 17.3"=44cm

So i do that because i prefer height than space ;D.................

Well thinking about it i guess i should put it in a more spacious position instead of height................

Anyways i've done my terrarium already fill it about 1-2" of perlite and still have one more packet to go........I will post my pics as soon as possible........You have to look at it hahaha.............Perlite can be used as a a part of a media for neps rite?

Re: How to build a highland terrarium
 

Erm, kenneth, do you want to grow only one nepenthes? Or more than three?

Perlite is a good mix for neps. Helps their roots cool and aerate the media. Actually, perlite is like the best air circulating media for all CPs.

And it is so light, I can buy 20 bags, and I won't feel a thing.......lol
