Default Re: personally weird and obscure...

lol that was a good one xD David, didnt mean to sound like malaysia was just a tuft of jungle, and u are right. We have very different climates here, for i experience about 9 ft of snow every winter where i live lol. Its kinda easy, I fill my atomizer up with ice cubes and refrigerated distilled water, and give all my plants a spray in one whack.They have trays that dont touch the pots under them to catch excess water, thus creating a never ending evaporating ponds;keeps humidity above aleast 60% im guessing. None of my nepenthes can survive outside in the summer, except for sanguinea its 5 cuttlings, they have survived our scorching dry sun! I guess all in all, i try to keep temp,humidity,etc. at 60%-70%. You then can grow ultra high and lowlands, cuz the ultra lowlands maximum is the ultra lowlands minimum. get it? And Kevyn, thats right! Think more positive, and damn it be daring! Dont think about it as being irrational, as i know thats what probably just went through your mind, think of it as you are being open minded, and know that you can accomplish anything. Plants are easier, cuz they dont think, they do. They have the power to rip through concrete foundations and rip down houses, and eat living creatures!Adapt? that depends on you. Once they leave that nursery and get put in a box its all up to us to give it the care it needs. The thing is, its getting a whole new different set up, so it doesnt matter really where its gonna go, its gonna sit in a plastic bubble with some water in it and acclimate. After a good 4 days poke some holes in the bag with a fork,once,every day for the next week till you can start taking the bubble off every few hours a day. Next plans, where to put it? in your collection. But what if it likes it a little colder and its hot? distilled water ice cubes. And if you have a spray bottle, put some in there and mist the plants. I have my plants by a gaping east facing window, so it stays farely cold in the winter. luckily there is a heater right there so it doesnt go down past 62%.Sorry, i would go on, but got off work, its 4 20 am here, and im la tired lol. caio
