Default Stressed Nepenthes

Hai guys,
Just receive some plants from Fauzi.
I bought:

bellii (not very well,the leaves looks curly)
xLady pauline (pitchers dried off but it's kinda acclimatizing to my conditions)
mirabilis var echinostoma (good so far)
bicalcarata (peristomes turning black)
Veitchii hose mountains (strong)
Any advice to make them better.
I'm worried about bellii.
I'll post some pics soon.

Well its simple..First cut off anything which dried or drying badly.Then just get some flint(clear) plastic bags.Make sure they are not leaking.Poor some water into it,around 2-3cm hight.The place ur pot into the plastic bag with water.Seal the plastic bag using a rubber band.Keep the bag in a bright place but not in contact with direct sun.Top up water if it gets low.

After 2-3 weeks,you can move it to the permanant position.,u can open the plastic bag for 1/2 of the day.After 1-2 weeks depending on how the plant looks/condition,you can take away the plastic bag completely.Use a water pan for few more weeks.After that the water pan can be removed.

The logic of due this is to keep the moisture/humidity level high so that the plant can recover.Neps dont like drastic changes in humidity and light levels.Hope your plant can recover soon.Most of the lowland neps can recover faster then highlands.Its easy to kill a highland nep.
