This is about how I am able to grow them from Oct-April. Other times of the
year it is pretty warm. My leaves are thin too. I think (my hypothesis)
since these plants grow at very high altitudes the UV radiation is
considerably higher than mine in the tank. I am wondering if supplying this
would make the plants more robust? Does anyone know if this has been tried.
I wonder if Nepenthes grow under lights might not benefit from this?
