I just recently got back into collecting CPs... I'd been gone too long!
Now I have a great 55 gallon tank set up as well as several window sill plants.
I have 4 neps:
1) Nepenthes Masagascariensis
2) Nepenthes Judith Finn
3) Nepenthes ventricosa
4) An unidentified highlander
Problem is, I am not sure which is which... doh!
Anyway, two of them sit on my window sill getting very little direct light but plenty of bright, indirect light that is boosted with a flourescent light. THey both seem to be slowly adjusting to the wondowsill.
Of the two that I keep in the terrarium, one is doing great.
But the other one is looking kinda sad. It's leaves aren't firm at all, kind of papery and wilted. It doesn't seem to be growing very well, if at all. None of the leaves have turned black or yellow, but it just doesn't look good
So my question is:
When is it safe to say the plant is beyond saving?
And are there any steps that I can take to save the lil guy? I realize it is difficult to advise when I can't even tell you what kind of nep it is... but any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
Chris
