Humidity and Temp Cycle Necessary for L/L?

[wijaya]

Hi E,

Regarding the L/L neps they don't really need any temp fluctuation, but for H/L will be a different. As for humidity best for neps if it is constantly maintain, as the neps really love humidity.

As for 24 hours light on, I am not sure about this, but let just not changing the nature way, terrarium is meant to mimic best natural environment.

For bicalcarata, this is a bit tricky species, it will take sometime to adapt to the new environment, but once established they will thrive very fast, if no pitcher probably not enough humidity.

Just my 2 cents,
Ed

Hello All-

Thank you to all that responded to my inquiry.

Currently, my 10" N. bical is housed alone in a 50 gal. hexagon terror-rium, and yes, I do have a greenhouse for it. The reason I have it in a terror-rium is because it is my favorite nep which I would like view it daily, easily and frequently.

The heat and temp are at a constant 85 degrees and 97% humidity 24/7, and after two weeks of receiving it, it is already producing a new leaf (I may have to slightly cut back on its current growing conditions or else I may only view it for a couple of months before it outgrows its current home he, he, he). As far as lighting, it is next to a large window, so it does get some bright shade for about 4-6 hours a day (if its not raining here in Oregon boo hoo hoo).

So, I guess being an ultra-lowlander, a drastic drop in temp and humidity aren't really necessary for the like of a bical, raff or amp.

But please keep all the comments, suggestions and advice coming.

Thanks and Good Growing,
E

Actually if ever, you do Not want a drestic drop in Temp and Humidify for these species.

Wifey says to me: "You enjoy looking at your plant through a rain?" . . . I replied . . . "Well, yeah".

Before anyone inquires, that is my Big Green Egg that you see reflected on the right side of the Terror-rium, it is a BBQ grill on my patio.




The numbers above indicate the whats going on inside the Terror-rium and those below it are outside of it.

Hiya Marvin1997-

I was told that this particular plant, as it gets more mature and bigger, it will produce darker red pitchers with black persitome and fangs.

If that is true, I will name it "Diablo"

Good Growing,
E
