Hi,

After a previously failed attempt, I want to try and grow Nepenthes
(probably highland) in a terrarium.

Have people here built their own terrariums or is it better to
purchase a good one (can you get them big enough for Nep's?)?

If it is better to go down the home-made route are there any things to
take into consideration? My last attempt failed because of a leaking
base and no lighting (it was in a very sunny room). I also think I
stewed the plants because I had no direct control over too much heat
getting to them.

Regards,
  Andrew
