Hello,
I just recieved a Nepenthes mikei from killer plant shop. It was 60% off and so i got it for $6 .
Ive read all the care guides i could find on the web, from the care guides here, to Nepenthes University, Cobraplant.com, Nepenthes around the house, wikipedia, everything.
I really like this plant and dont want to lose it. I read this story on icps proboards http://icps.proboards.com/index.cgi?boa ... thread=749 where this persons N. mikei was doing so well for a couple of months and then all of a sudden loses the plant. Im just looking to see if anyone out there has kept this plant alive for more than a year and if they can share any tips, tricks, or secrets to caring for this great plant. Any info/suggestions welcome.
Here are some pics, it is currently on my south facing bedroom windowsill, the seller said it was acclimated to household humidity. Temps range from mid 70s to low 50s at night. One day i wish to move this plant outside but its been kind of cold here in the Bay Area lately. Hows it look?
