Hello CP friends!

[TS]

Hi Kelvin, Welcome to the forum.
Your N. albo loved your assisting location, the new leaves are growing fine.
Everyone starts from zero, I'm sure your collection will grow quickly.
Hey guys, prepare some more poison, please....

Yes, I agree with Shawn that your albo has a very nice red colour. This is a nice form. It does look dehyderated and it could be becasue you are using the coconut husk to grow them. I think the water within the media evaporates very quickly if you use coconut husk. Try to use plastic pots and try a wetter media as what Shawn suggest. But TS is also right as the new leaves look fresh. perhaps it has acclimatised to the conditions but better to keep it on a safe side.

Relative humidity of 55% during the day and 85% at night seems fine. Don worry about that. Also as you get more plants and crowd the area with plants the whole growing area will be much more humid.

Thank you all for the warm welcome

Hi David, my neps are now planted on peat moss. The coconut shell has drainage hold underneath.Never tried coconut husk. It was a lesson learnt from my first nep which refuses to pitcher when I topped up the existing medium with normal black soil.

Didn't even know how the moss is suppose to look like back then until I first bought it. (looks like dried chrysanthemum from far). Now the best medium I have peat moss.
Are there any way to boost the growth of neps? I even bought hygrometer to measure the humidity for my neps because the N.albo leaves looks a bit dry but new leave looks ok. Maybe by increasing humidity will help.

Here's a couple pics of N. albomarginata planted in straight coco husk cubes. All of these get very well watered, daily. The pot in the second picture has holes drilled about 3/4" up from the bottom (Pot is 5" tall so it always has a reservoir, but also has room for the roots to spread out without water-logging. So far, they seem quite happy.

I agree with David - plastic pots (unless you can use water trays or can water everything daily) and more plants grouped together really helps. Fortunately, increasing numbers of plants comes naturally with the habit!
