I received my second hamata 11/09 and the lower leaves are slowly yellowing. I realize that this normal but I am only watering about every 7 days and am thinking it might be too long. Both hamata's are next to each other with the first received on 10/31 and being about 1.5 inches across growing steadily almost since it arrived and the second being about 2 inches across doing little growing until it had been here for several days and much slower than #1. I started placing both into a five gallon aquarium at night with 100% humidity and 61 degree temps and #2 is now growing. A half developed leaf and pitcher that was fully extended but not dropping is now creeping slowly to the ground and a new growing tip is extending steadily. I keep extensive photo records and did some comparing and the lowest leaf was beginning to lighten on delivery and a couple more of the lowest were looking like they were beginning the same thing. The progression has been steady with the lowest leaf now dieing back from the tip and the other at different degrees of yellowing from lime green to greenish yellow. If there was a gallery here I could place a couple of pictures. I don't believe it is in trouble but always look to the long time Nepophiles for advice when in trouble. Here are the images from earliest to latest from another site:
