Default Re: Experiences with SD Hamata

it pitcher for you under low humidity? slight drop of temperature?
are you sure? Do you mind share more of your experience?
My hamata was a seedgrown from BE. It was hardened off very well and had a very large root system for such a small plant which made it easier to adapt. For a short amount of time (4 months about) hamata can survive and grow well with smaller drops in night temperature. Pitchers are not as large as they would be in an ideal enviroment. They were half an inch on two inch diameter plants. One thing to look out for is mites. Hamata seems to be very sensitive to mites. The new leaves will come out much smaller, pitchers will not develope, and small red dots are visible on the growth tip. Death follows shortly if not treated, like I did.
