Oddly enough, I've got a N. mirabilis echinostoma seedling in my lowland
tank, under fluorescent lights, and it perpetually looks very pale and
washed out with only a faint red flush to the pitchers. It's growing
right next to several forms of N. rafflesiana, N. x hookeriana etc all
of which have *very* good colour in the pitchers and nice dark green
leaves, some tinged with red.
Maybe N. mirabilis has different light requirements to the 'average' Nep?
Later,
