Hi Trent,

I keep the plants under artificial light 14 hours/day. The problem plant
has been this way ever since I recieved it (Oct 1st). Maybe
transportation shock? The other six nepenthes started to grow soon after
arrival (although the macfarlanei was a bit slow in the start).

Anyway, I will follow your advice to leave the plant alone, and give it
more time to acclimatize.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
