Default A cry for.....HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone

Well few months back i got a N bical from Robert........Came in preety good conditions and 1 pitcher bare root......That pitcher now has become cirspy dry but its shape still remains....weird........

Anyways it took about 1-2 weeks for the bical to start showing a little signs of growth and then after a while it just took off.....with a big leaf......measuring around 20cm or 8" which is way bigger than all the other leaves...It also has a nice looking light brown tendrill and and after that growth just stoped!!........Well technically not stoped cos i can see a new small little leaf forming under the new leaf......But the speed of its growth like suddenly stoped.....not as fast as it was forming the new leaf..

I grow it at the bottom of the rack which is considered the darkest part of the whole rack considering it is covered by N miranda....But it still has a little direct sun some time of the day......This is a pic was where i put it when i just got my rack which is the red circle but now its at the yellow circle for some time already.

Heres the pic


Well can anyone help me out on this????Any of the sifu???

Ken

I think you should give it more sunlight. It must be unhappy without enough sun........

Cheers
