Greeting Everyone,

Relatively new to CP's and totally addicted!!! I recently got into nepenthes to solve another issue problem I was having with another hobby (backyard astrophotography). I was lucky and found a N. Miranda at a flea market. I envisioned myself surrounded by a few pots and hangers Nepenthes and enjoying the night sky. Well telescope broke and is at the Meade warehouse for repair in California (Probably won't be back til July). My plan was to grow on the Lanai with the "alway present" humidity in Florida. My first week I burned the poor plant and lost a few leaves. Its doing good with alot of new growth but no pitchers yet. I've added a few more plants to my collection and a mini walk-in greenhouse. My on going struggle is daytime humidity. I recently added a fan and cold mist humidifier and have be able to at least maintain 73% during the heat of the day (95% @ night). Here is what is the greenhouse:

N. BillBaily
N. Ventricosa
N. Talangensis x Glandufera
N. Suki
N. Ventrata
