Hello all, I built a relatively modest tent in my basement to start a new collection of highland Nepenthes and Heliamphora. It is only a couple weeks old and the plants I do have are still arriving and settling in but I want to get it documented and share the experience with others :adoration:
-currently getting night temps of 50-55 without actively cooling thanks to the basement setting
-using a reptile heating cable in addition to the heat from the light to bring day temps to 75-80.
-420 watt indagrow induction light
-fogger humidifier set to keep tent 75-80%
-small axial fan hanging from the middle of the tent on a 15 on 15 off timer to keep the air mixing and moving.
-used some egg crate to bring plants off the floor for drainage and used some weed cloth to keep tendrils from sneaking below.
-small RO filter setup to fill a 5 gallon reservoir with float valve
Think that covers the basics. Happy to answer any questions anytime. These plants are much more fun to grow when you can share them with others
