Hey All,
I got this P. gigantea from Willy back in may and I've been having difficulties with it ever since. It's growing in a largely mineral mix (perlite, sand, vermiculite and a little peat) in a decently tall pot (so it's far from the water table) being kept on the dry side (I let the tray stay dry for about a week between watering) in ambient humidity (50-70%) and temperature (on the cool side, it's in the basement). I would assume it was overwatering but I've already switched it out of a more water retentive media and I'm barely giving it any water (or that's what it feels like) - would it prefer warmer temps and higher humidity? I could switch it into my terrarium where my P. 'John Rizzy' grows very happily but I thought I'd check here with people who can actually grow these things first.
Thanks in advance!
