Default Re: David: My new "Pet"

Marvin,

Mine died as well... not because of anything but my carelessness. I poured some diluted orchid fertiliser into it's pitchers and the plant start to dry up and die over an excruciating period of about 1-2 months.

Thought that would help in it's growth since it cannot catch insects in my closed terrarium. But I think some of the fertiliser flowed into the media and that burned the roots.

The plant at the background is the same plant. It's a mirror reflection. I built the terrarium with the mirror so that light can be reflected back on the plant maximising the light intensity on the plant.
