Looking for nepenthes

[Jeremiah Harris]

Hello

I lost a few Nepenthes due to a freeze in my greenhouse, surprisingly it only killed 3 plants...
N. ampullaria 'spotted'
N. insignis
N. eustachya red/purple

If you have any of these plants please let me know.

thanks

Hi Jeremiah, what happened? Heating failure?

 

[Jeremiah Harris]

Yeah, what happened was my greenhouse runs off the boiler in our house but some how the boiler temperature got turn down so it was not producing near the amount of heat it should. I have it fixed not but I decide that my lowland Nepenthes were not thriving since it would get to 50F ever night I build a indoor lowland grow chamber with PVC and thick plastic, they will be much happier in there.

thanks

Do what I did, get one of those remote temp sensors. Not cheap, but when you've got good money invested in plants, a hundred bucks for one is certainly a valuable asset!

 

[Jeremiah Harris]

Yeah lol I got one with 4 remote temperature, humidity and alarms two days later for Christmas.
