(I'm just full of questions this weekend!-sorry folks!
)
I have noticed that the pitcher lids on my N. hamata seedling started closing at night when I make it cold (I run a vent from the A/C to bring the temps down in the highland tank). What could be causing this? Should I not be making this plant experience the cooler nights? I can put it in a regular lowland terrarium.
I assumed it needed a temp drop at night like the lowii and fusca are supposed to so I rigged up the following contraption (a dryer vent to go from the window A/C unit to the top of the terrarium).

Other specs of the highland enclosure are:
110 Watt compact flourescent reef lighting (Red Sea Phazer IV)
Humidity 80%-100% (depedning upon the ultrasonic fogger being on or off)
Lots of air circulation above and below the plants.
