36". Yeeeaaaah, I need to get something else. Something bigger! Or a second setup. I have one for seedlings, so I suppose a third. Moving plants in and out is going to get impossible if you'll notice the little doors I'm trying to get the plants through :/ here's a few more terrarium shots. I enjoy taking nice individual plant shots but this is quicker.

A big mess of Tillandsia:

Old faithful, Nepenthes ventricosa:

Couple little guys, "New location" N. aristolochioides and BE N. jacquelineae:

Looks like you're using HO T5 bulbs with different spectrums, do you mind sharing which they are? Thanks!

Roraima, six of the bulbs are 6500K and the other two are 4100K. I haven't played around too much with colour spectrum, just thought I'd switch it up a bit.

Thanks.

Yes, My N. dubia propagation was successful, so I decided to chop it down further. I may have pushed my luck. I think I have quite a few 1 node cuttings, which people warn about. They're all in the same pot, so I'll just leave em alone and let them do their thing. I also made cuttings of N. lingulata, N. inermis, and N. jamban. It's likely only a matter of time until all my plants get pruned, especially considering space constraints. I want to try to keep small bushy plants with multiple growth points.

N. villosa Tambuyukon just opened its newest pitcher. Pretty excited about this plant, very vigorous.

N. aristolochioides enjoying the NZ Sphagnum moss that sprouted from the dried, brick variety. I've never had a problem growing moss from its dried form, but Sphagnum mosses, like Nepenthes, have varying characteristics. The "NZ" variety commonly sold in pet shops is large and billowy, ideal for small plants, but not likely great for seedlings.
