My heli (H. minor) is growing a couple of adult pitchers. (pics later).
Just wondering if this is a good indicator of good care. I only worry a bit, as my temperatures regularly hit 85 or so during the day. Nights get down to 68-70. I'm expecting a new adult plant from Native Exotics this week, and hope to do as well with it, as I have with this plant from FTS. I have heard, however, that adult plants are more picky than young plants.
Otherwise, I water regularly to keep media damp, and fertilize every two weeks. Keep it under T8's (about 4" or so).
Up until a couple of weeks ago I had it under T5's, but needed more plant space, so I renovated my grow room with new shelves and 4 ft. T8's at each shelf. It was growing at the same temperatures then, so I'm guessing it won't be stressed any more that it has (maybe) been.
