Hi guys!

So, I'm kind of concerned about two of my nepenthes due to their strange growth. Basically their growth seems to be getting smaller and smaller. Their media is moist at all times the temperature is around the mid eighties during the day and drops to around the mid seventies at night, although I have to use a small, oscillating fan that blows over them in order to achieve those lower day temps. Humidity is usually at 40% during the day and 60% at night. I'm just not sure what could be causing this. My other neps are growing just fine.

I’m no expert, but I think your night time humidity could be higher. You can get away with lower day time humidity, but you gotta bump it up at night. Get a cheap aromatherapy mister and stick it next to it.

I don't think the humidity is the problem though. My other news are thriving and going through some leaf jumps right now, and then there are these two. They were growing fine just weeks ago, and now they've started growing like this.

Ok, can’t really help then sorry. The leaves look a little burnt maybe, like they’re either in too much light, or have been watered in the daytime?
