My HL chamber

[Wjs2nd]

Does look like a snake but after some close looking, it's a pitcher plant. The leaf is the top and the snake looking area is the lip of the pitcher plant.

You have a big collection. It's pretty dark, do you keep everything in a basement? What kind of temps do you average?

Indeed...the pitcher plant has a striped lip, and the "heart shaped leaf" is actually a matching lid.

I keep all of my obligate cool growers in the basement, anything thar requires cool temps and high humidity to grow well. Most of my collection is currently down there, since the only things I can grow upstairs are species that can tolerate low humidity in the winter. The chamber is also much brighter than it appears, the high power T5 I'm using can actually cause leaf burns on shade loving plants if they are too close. Temperatures vary with the seasons, but I typically get winter temps with 68F days and 53F nights, and summer temps with 77F days and 64F nights.
