Subject: N khasiana problems..

Hi
I have been growing Nepenthes for just over 11 years now..
While I have had success with varieties like rajah, burbidgea &
villosa. I still find the Khasiana variety tricky!! Its always
described as easy to grow and fast growing, but my current attempt is
looking very sorry for itself. Previous attempts have always failed..

I have used a variety of composts over the years, this one is in a
mix of live sphagnum moss, orchid bark and perlite. It is with the
other plants in my greenhouse.. Daytime temperature at the moment
about 65f, night-time 45-50f. Humidity maintained by misters.

Recently obtained plants including an hamata and fallax have started
to grow, but a new khasiana is not doing anything apart from dieing
back on its older growth. Any ideas??

cheers
