Do you have him weened of the dome?
He looks very happy any ways!
congrats!

Cheers

Thanks everyone! :)

Frankie is not quite weaned off the dome yet, he wears it at night and through the morning until I get home from work around noon. I go to work at 4:30am, so it's still too cold outside to set him out when I leave, but I think I'm going to start taking the dome off before I go at least.

When I get home, I put him out on the porch in the sun for the rest of the day. Once it goes down and it starts to cool off outside, I bring him back in, mist him really well & make sure he's got a tiny bit of water in his tray, and put the dome on before I go to bed.

I think I'm using the dome out of habit now more than anything else, he probably doesn't need it at all. Once he moves outside, I will probably dome him at night for the first week or so, then put my glass pie pan back in the cabinet where it belongs. My little boy is growing up so fast! ::sniff::

I do have another inside plant to occupy my attention for awhile though....Frankie's "sister", an African Violet named Rose. She's growing so many flowers that I have to push them aside to let new ones through, and there are lots of "suckers" that need to be cut off and repotted. (If they survive, does anyone want one? I'm going to have a million of them, LOL!)

She is my first violet (an unwanted Valentine's Day present...reminds me of that saying "pets are forever, not for xmas" LOL), and despite everyone telling me that they are "impossible" to grow, I seem to be having good luck so far! :)

Leave it to me....I guess I overdid it. Most of Frankie's leaves look a little singed. The traps are either getting a lot of pigment real fast or are getting burnt as well (I'm guessing burnt). :\

Now he's inside under the dome, with the light off. It's kinda cooler in here (but not as cold as outside) so I figured the dome would prevent him from too drastic of a temp change since he's been outside. I misted him really well and told him I'm sorry for giving him a sunburn!!!

Is it just too much sun too fast? I think he was doing good, I just overdid it. He's fragile after living in a dome I guess, I should have known better! Poor little Frankie! :(

I just took some pics, will post them when I get them all off the camera.

its fine if you leave him like like that his new growth wont burn

i'm in austin, tx, and my nepenthes miranda has been getting partial sun for about a month now since i got her and put her in front of our house. she gets morning and evening sun. i thought maybe it was okay - but she's showing quite a bit of red in the centers of her leaves and has some red dots on her leaves as well. one leaf (the largest) is showing a couple of brownish dry spots in areas where it looks like it was beat up during transport - but i'm not sure if that's due to the sun or just the damaged parts of the leaf dying.

should i move her? i hate to move her too much.
