The Ultimate Nepenthes Care Guide - Humidity

This is the most important factor for Nepenthes care. Although they can be acclimated to lower humidity levels, they really do their best in the 75-85% range. Most people think they can throw them in a window and expect a bunch of pitchers, but most homes have very low indoor humidity that is less than ideal for growing Nepenthes. If your humidity too low your plants will stop producing pitchers. Hydroponic grow tents and large terrariums are a great way to grow Nepenthes indoors. If you’re only growing a couple plants, you can add a personal humidifier next to them. If you’re seriously addicted and can’t stop collecting, a hyrdofogger works wonders in larger enclosures and greenhouses. Just make sure you don’t rot your ceiling out!

Nepenthes can be acclimated to the 50-65% range, but they just aren’t going to put on the same show as they would with higher humidity. Get those levels up and watch those pitchers explode! Humidity also helps with pitcher size and coloration.

Love the music you've chosen. I use that one often too. It's great for relaxing plant videos.

Is there such a thing as too high humidity? I got a 5.5 gallon tank for my 2 hybrid nepenthes and made my setup similar to your tutorial, my hydrometer is reading between 88%-90% and I just wanted to be sure that’s not too high (assuming it remains constant at that %)
