My Nepenthes hamata has sprouted a new leaf in 21 days!  The leaf hasn't unraveled yet.  I'm misting the plant every day to ensure very high humidity within the terrarium. I don't have any new photos yet, sorry!

I am a proud new owner of a Nepenthes Hamata. I don't have any pictures yet but hope to get some within a week to monitor growth status. I planted it in a 3" pot of sphagnum moss/perlite mix in the smaller terrarium. I purchased this plant through a CITES (Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species) permitted dealer.

Greenhouse update: I'm still digging the trench but am about 75 percent done. The deepest end is 5' 1/2". I've taken about 10 days off from digging but will start again in day or two.
