Default Re: lowlandterrarium

The MH wasn't able to heat the terra in the winter enough. The cables which are lying around there is a 80W heating cable which I had to install now in the winter to get temperatures at day upto 30°C. In the night it drops to 20 - 22 °C. Also this "decent" looking ventilator brings heavy wind in the terra which provides the same temperatures in the whole terra. I've noticed that all of my neps love it when they get steady good wind.
The clipeata does very well for me. It's a steady grower which always forms a pitcher for each new leave. I've potted it (like northiana) in a meshpot and used as pottingmix pinebark, cocopeat, perlite and living sphagnum as topdressing. The sphagnum is meanwhile dried out. So same like northiana. Keep it more on the dry side because it's also lithophytic growing in nature.
