I saw someone else posting about Lowii and it got me thinking as to the progress my own Lowii has made. While Lowii is definitely a VERY slow growing nep, I think mine has made progress in the time it's been under my care - check it out:

What are your temps?

Mid 70s to low 80s during the day and low 60s at night.

Mine are mid 70s day, high 50s night right now. In the Summer that will change. I'll take a photo of mine now and in a month or two. I've only had mine like a month.

add yours here! I find nightly drops only really need to be about 10 less than daytime. I'd say mine is doing pretty well.

When the LEDs shut down I'll take a photo. I always mean to take photos of new Neps so I can track their growth but I never do. When you look at Neps every day it's nearly impossible to see any change. The one exception so far would be the pitchers on my burkei X maxima. The pitchers on that thing can inflate fast!!

LED grow light, favorable temps, high humidity, nightly drops, fertilizer and beneficial fungi

Ok. Here is mine. I've only had it for just under a month.

I also have a little lowii x spectabilis I'm pretty excited about. I like anything with either of those species in the cross so both in one should be pretty cool.

Wow. I'm jealous. What's your humidity? Traps should be bigger

Looks fine to me. There is a point where leaf size catches up with trap size and can surpass it. Not to mention he has only had it for a month, and being a bit older of a plant, it would take some more time to fully settle.
