Hello CP'ers,
I have a number of Nepenthes, most are highland, growing
under 24 hour lighting. They are getting fairly bright light
so much that if I reduced the misting they would bleach out.
I had them growing like this since the beginning of March.
No problems just some spider mites that only go after the N.
ventricosa(s). The reason I have them like this is to speed
up their growth. This seems to be working but I have no control
so it can't really be considered an experiment for growth rate.
