In my new office at work I have a window which gets
late afternoon sun. I have about a dozen species
growing in a Crystal Lite Indoor greenhouse, under
2 15watt grow lights and 2 2' 20watt grow lights (Don).

I keep most of my cool growing, and/or sick, species
here, and they seem to be loving it. P. moranensis X
ehlersia (sp?) has about a 3.5" wide rosette, and the
leaves are getting a very nice pink colour. My P. agnata
isn't growing as vigorously as I'd hoped, but is
getting a nice colour scheme. D. prolifera and adelae
are coming back from an aphid attack and bugspray. I
just acquired a small D. schizandra, which I may move
down here, if I can make the space. I'd like to get
one of those octagonal fish tanks and put a single Nepenthes
in it, for work, but the tanks cost a fortune.

Strangey, my P. ehlersia seedlings haven't been doing much,
and the P. cyclosecta which I got from Don quite a while
ago hasn't gotten much large than 1/2", although a second
small plantlet has shown up, and overall the plants seem
happy.
