Wow, I envy your vivarium and the fact that you can grow a rajah! :tongue: I think that's a sunburn on your truncata x ephippiata.

Thanks, my vivarium doesnt look like that at all right now haha! The moss has all grown a lot more. I will take an update video when im free :). I think so too, i will have to give them some shade cloth. I thought in January the afternoon sun doesnt hit my nepenthes, but i was wrong haha. Just hope the pitcher that is forming doesnt get burnt off!

Re: My collection
 

Your vivarium is cooled by an air conditioning system? If you can keep it cool, exposing it to direct afternoon sunlight won't harm your neps :) they'll colour up!

Re: My collection
 

Yes, only my nepenthes rajah is living in the vivarium though haha!
I have the air conditioner temperature set at 23 degrees, than i have 4 fans. 2 of the fans are on 24/7 to provide air circulation during the day and at around 10pm, 2 powerful fans will be turned on by a timer to cool the tank down even further. This will cause humidity levels to lower, so im installing a humidifier in tonight(its on the way here right now) and from that, i will see how it goes!

For my outdoor neps, im afraid i cant do much to help them escape from the sun except place a shade cloth.

Hey guys! Just finished installing my new humidifier a few minutes ago! Enjoy these few pics, and take a look at the video :).
Whole look at the humidifier! Brand : Advante. Holds 4.5litres of water i think...

So i removed the green cap at the top, and fastened my piping. May not look pretty, but it gets the job done!

Notch for controlling the mist. I set it to the higher side, but not maximum.

And finally, here is what the tank looks like when i turn the notch to maximum!

Btw, i have a question. I'll be visiting kota kinabalu tomorrow as im heading there to take pictures of the infamous nepenthes rajah. Do you think my N rajah can tolerate a little heat in the night for a few days?
Anyway, the video is up!
