All plants at Deathalotus are growing under the following conditions:

Substrate: Growing in a coarse mixture of organic coco coir, pine bark, pumice, lava, and calcined clay within a 3 oz cup.

Water: Plants are sprayed with rainwater when the media looks and feels dry.

Light: Growing indoors under 5500-6500K full spectrum white LED lighting (9 HRS. NOV-JAN, 12 HRS. FEB-APR/AUG-OCT, 15 HRS. MAY-JUL).

Temperature: Temperatures fluctuate seasonally between ~60-72ºF (+/-3ºF) night and day.

Humidity: ~54-72% RH during summer months and ~18-27% RH during winter months.

Fertilizer: MaxSea Acid Formula Plant Food (~180ppm/gallon water) is fed 1-2x per month, both as a foliar feed to leaves/pitchers and as a drench to roots/substrate. 

Dormancy: Slower growth/vigor observed during winter months (shorter light cycle/lower temps).
