Took a risk and bought another N. Lowii. My first one died after almost a year of having it, and I decided to try it again. This one is bigger as well.

Looks like it's potted up just fine. What're your conditions and did you use AAA NZ moss?

Mid 70's during the day and 60's at night. I believe so. I bought my last one from Native Exotics and it was extremely healthy and growing at a decent rate. I think it just got stressed when I moved into my apartment. It was still a baby so not sure if that has anything to do with it.

What about humidity though? And light?

Humidity is 85-95%. I have my small neps in a fish tank with a T8 and it's on a table up against a window. I keep it slightly cracked and a small table fan on low or high depending on temps outside the tank.

What about airflow specifically inside the tank tho? I find that's important

Well I keep the fan right in front of the cracked part of the tank facing up towards it. I like to believe it's decent airflow, but I could be wrong.

sounds like it should be fine. Hmmmm. What was the move like for the plant? Wouldn't it just receive the same conditions regardless?

I went from a West facing window to only having North facing windows and I moved right before it was winter. I like to believe that's why lol

Just curious, where did you pick this one up? Looks good. I'm recovering a lowii from spider mite infestation. Best of luck with the new one!
