I got this plant 4-6 months ago and it has not done much of anything for me. It looks very much like it did when I first received the plant; it has put out a few leaves but has not even thought about inflating a pitcher.
Conditions: Grown in a basement with a variety of Neps and Heliamphora. Upper 60's at night to upper 70's during the day. No humidifier. I did not repot when I got this plant, I think its in 100% LFSM. Lighting is from T8 shop lights approximately 14 inches above the plant.
I'm trying to figure out what to do to get this plant going. I was thinking of repotting and moving to a shelf with stronger lights (would be 3-6 inches from the top of the plant). I don't want to fertilize the plant while it's not happy but I was thinking of trying coffee or tea.
Here's a picture (the brown leaf in the back is just a leaf from lower on the stem that has curled up, it's not anywhere near the growth point)
