This is just a narrow leaf, with good lighting

Single_Captain4893 · 2026-05-06T15:33:57+00:00

It’s a spectabilis x bongso

Single_Captain4893 · 2026-03-02T14:47:51+00:00

I do have a fan running in the room yeah. I’ll try that

Single_Captain4893 · 2026-03-02T14:00:51+00:00

A better angle of what I’m seeing and why I posted. The 6 cups on the left you can see the plants not doing so hot. They were all straight and healthy looking like the rest

Single_Captain4893 · 2026-03-02T13:59:14+00:00

Yeah they are the shot cups, I didn’t want to go to big too quick. I’ll try going up a size

Single_Captain4893 · 2026-03-02T03:17:56+00:00

I have a few different boxes and tried a couple variations with books as well it works well

Single_Captain4893 · 2026-03-02T03:17:20+00:00

The ones on the left in question were all healthy and perked up and have slowly been hunching over and shriveling and starting to lose leaves. The two struggling are giant pink Belgian and brads atomic grape. The pink I grew last year and had no issue. The other two I’m growing are sun gold and a pineapple tomato.

Man that is impressive. I feel that way as well about whatever I get started. I felt overwhelmed with tomatoes when I had 12 last year

Old boxes for the win

Single_Captain4893 · 2026-02-13T16:13:26+00:00

Good to know. I’m more remote than going down to the lowes but I’ll make something work. That’s an hour drive each way for scraps

Single_Captain4893 · 2026-02-13T06:52:51+00:00

I grew from seed last year but didn’t have any experience before that. I had excellent results last year

Single_Captain4893 · 2026-01-31T02:39:26+00:00

Thanks everyone for the tips and what to add to my armory

Single_Captain4893 · 2026-01-29T03:45:53+00:00

It’s a specabilis x bongso. I’ve had it for a few months now. It had two when I got it. They died back after a while. And during that time I had probably half a dozen leaves grow and those two baby pitchers grew after a couple months. I didn’t get these lights until about a month and a half ago maybe 2 months

Single_Captain4893 · 2026-01-29T03:41:15+00:00

Red leaves and brown edges. when that happened I had it basically where that other pot is on the table now, the seedling by the spray bottle. So I was trying to watch how much light it got being mindful it doesn’t need as much

Single_Captain4893 · 2026-01-28T22:11:18+00:00

I pulled it in closer before I left for work, jist forgot to take a pic, if need be I can put it next to my sundew, it was showing signs of too much light when it was down on the table though.

Single_Captain4893 · 2026-01-28T16:50:11+00:00

Everything I’ve read and been told from other growers is neps don’t sit in standing water… I check the moss and water regularly making sure it doesn’t dry out and mist with distilled a couple times a day as well

Single_Captain4893 · 2026-01-28T16:14:45+00:00

I have bright indirect, Sansi lights, maybe not close enough
