My Bical is almost 1 month in pot from a bare root purchase. no growth yet. it's not looking any worse or better. on bare root plants. what is the time frame for root shock. I know Bicals shut down for periods of time but is this normal.? I have 3 other lowland nepenthes growing very well right next to the bical so I don't think it's my lowland conditions. could be the light. my lights are 1 foot away from the pot tops

I would say the plant is still adapting. Maybe waiting for another 1 week. Check for pests for now. Give them bright direct sunlight and keep the soil moist, not wet. Feed them occasionally with ants when pitchers develop for good growth.
Good Luck!

Tada!!!!! growth point started to move yesterday yaaayyyyyyyy... I was getting worried, I was going to order a new one but all the sites I looked at where out of stock

Try Petflytrap.com
But i cant guarantee that the plant will arrive in good condition, i heard lots of horror stories from the forum member about them.
