Yeah are nights are not very warm, they usually drop down to 3-4 degrees. Do you have any recommendations on heating for a little greenhouse like this one?

If your temps are dropping to 3 to 4C for that particular plant, then you definitely have cold induced leaf burn on your plant. Ultra highland Neps can handle those cold temps, but not your plant, unfortunately. Keep it at least 10C warmer for the night time temps and it will be a whole lot happier. dvg

Thank you, I used to grow it on the window sill which I'm going to start doing again. But I didn't think it was happy so I put it out there, obviously not knowing that it got so cold in there at night. Any way to heat it up in there?

Do you guys think 3 degrees at night is two cold to grow d. Spatulata. D. Dielsiana. And D. Tokaiensis from seed?

Look like a frozen plant to me. Im pretty sure your temperature has been lower than 0°C for a while.

I'd keep those Drosera seedlings much warmer than 3C... They like room temperature (~20C). If you look up their locations you will able to find their temperature range. Your Nepenthes looks okay, just frozen like Maiden said, it should recover given the time and care. Some Nepenthes like consistence warm temperature and leaving it in unheated greenhouse during cold Spring can be deadly. Good luck Willy

Thanks veryone for the help! I tried putting a 8 litre bucket full of boiling water in there and it definitely brought the temp up so that might fix my problem. I'm going to try doing that overnight and check the temp in the morning

So here it is today, the main big adult leaf has died and all the other original leaves have some minor frees damage. Do you think they will be ok? also, . This is where I cut the dead leaves yesterday it was green but now it's black do you think it's an infection or just scarring over?

Also, does anyone know where I could get my hands on a ultra highland nepenthes? I'm pretty sure I have the perfect climate for one. Also how much do they usually go for?

Well, in the summer is the problem for you. Ultra highlands need a stable climate with really high humidity, and a ten degree Celsius temp drop at night, and I'm also pretty sure that they can't get higher than 20 Celsius during the day

Plus, I think a lot of the ultra highlands are more expensive plants even for little ones, because they're more rare. It'd also be hard to find an ultra highland in Canada unless you could get one from a grower here

Thank you yeah I probably wouldn't risk doing it if they are rare and expensive, the weather can be pretty unpredictable here to
