N. Maxima Wavy Leaf turning yellow, Help!
I purchased a Maxima Wavy Leaf from a carnivorous vendor at a plant show back in May.
It seemed to be doing well until a few weeks ago when the leaves started to yellow. I can't think of anything that's changed in my habits other than I did start misting them once or twice a week recently, there is decent airflow in the room from a ceiling fan that stays on constantly. I water with DI, and keep the sphagnum moss potting mixture moist. The window it is in does not get much sun, most of the light it gets is from LEDs, you can see the Cattleya orchid stalk in the background getting some purple from a little too much light. Daytime temps are mid to high 70's with humidity 60%-70%, at night the temp drops a little and the humidity rises a bit.
I don't have much experience with Nepenthes other than getting two nameless varieties from a local greenhouse last year that have done really well. The vendor I purchased the plant from said that everything he brought to the show to sell would do well for home growers and didn't need any special treatment like some highland species do.
Thanks in advance for any advice you might have!
