Recommended Posts

Hi! I grow mine in a windowswill... it is an highland form... it is a very strong plant... in winter I use additional light .., it makes pitchers and grows all the winter... seedlings are very slow growing... my plant have minimum temperature of 11 C in the colder night in winter... If you have lowland form you need higher temperatures ;-)

Hi! If you have only a pot you can use a white spectrum lamp of 6000 k in a desk lamp... I bought it for 3,5€ in a chinese shop;-) If you prefer a little more professional lamp, there are growlights for indoor culture... This is the 3rd winter that I grow indoor my truncata and it continue to grow (very slowly due to the low temperature) and make pitchers;-)

The violet light is a growlight, that you can see envolved in cellophane... ad you can see my indoor growing point is not well looking, but it works;-)

Hey 

Anyone have experience with using humidifiers? I'm thinking of getting a small humidifier or fogger to put on the windowsill with my Nepenthes. 

Would something like this be OK? (see attached screenshot) or would a fogger type thingy be better? Screenshot_20201208-214556.thumb.png.9cedfa2835c6722af830931d7a5d3bf9.pngScreenshot_20201208-214606.thumb.png.9c5db38a5e8904a8f8ba143d2765a146.png
