hahahahahahaha, you have a gracilis, ....hahahaha, you just dont know what your in store for, hehe, its a super fast growing plant, lol. ive looked up info on these, so far, i found out that these plants can get up to 10 feet tall! havent seen it yet, but ive read it, just go to internet explorer and type in the search: nepenthes gracilis ( i did this on
www.msn.com) i keep both species of worts that petflytrap has and 3 dif. nep species; ventricosa, rafflesiana, and gracilis. i have multiple fly traps; dente, green dragon, common green, and a giant form of the common green, forked sundew, adelea, and spathulata, and what started as a 4" foliage plant( they lied, its larger now, lol). the temp on the tank goes like this:
during the day, it runs between 81-84 degrees F., at night the temp. runs 78-82 degrees F. i have 6- 4 foot bulbs(G.E. sunshine tubes) on top, each one is 40 watts, so thats 240 watts of lighting they get, i have to use a fan on top of the tank, its a rotating desk fan, the rotating thing is broke, i keep it on low setting. the lighting rests on 1 inch wood stock and the fan blows on top of the lights to cool the ballasts and at the same time, it blows under the lights, barely into the tank, i have glass and plexiglass on top, i keep the middle and the right sections cracked open about 1 and a half inches, slid open, not raised, the fan air goes in and out from these 2 spots, causing air exchange, and maintains my temps, this is only during the day, at night, the fan is off and i have an electric heater on the floor, blasting it at the base, i keep the water maintained by what the texture looks on top of the peat soil, it looks wet, thats it basically, havent even used superthrive anymore, no need to really, i dont want a nightmare growth rate, heheheh! heres a pic of the tank again
