Argh, I wish the greenhouse I worked at this summer had more...they got a bunch of VFTS in the week before I left for school but they were like 8 bucks a pot.

That is one sweet setup and glad to see how well all the plants are doing.. If only I had the space..
Thanks for the encouragement, all! I'm seeing some dieback with the sundews that's more evident today than before, but they're all still showing new growth, so I think it's just a transition to the new conditions. Everything else seems to be doing well. The heli and the ceph are putting out awesome new growth, and there are new pitchers growing on the n. copelandii and the n. truncata that I think will dwarf the others based on leaf size. They seem to be handling the acclimation well.
I thought I'd put up some pics of the outside guys. I hesitate to call it a minibog, 'cause there's only 2 plants in it at this point... :footinmouth:. The sarracenia psittacina is doing brilliantly. There's lots of new growth (relatively... keep in mind this is noted to be one of the slowest growing sarrs. added to the fact that it didn't exactly get a proper dormancy last winter), and the new leaves are almost twice as big as the ones from last year. I lost the little VFT. I don't think I did the fly traps any favors by moving them outside a week or so before moving to NY, but one made it and is putting out some good new growth.
Also, I thought I might throw this out there as a side note in hopes that someone can help... i was given this plant with no word to what it is or how to care for it... anyone? I think it's a succulent, so I'm hoping Ger stops in and sees it...

It's doing really well! It made it through the transition fine, so I repotted it into a bigger pot with my nep mix (it came in a substrate of just LFS). It's forming a new pitcher and the leaves are nice and green and healthy! I'll put up some pics when I get the chance.
Also, I got the humidifier hooked up... it's running like a champ! Thanks for the advice.

Well it finally happened.. I gave in to Nep fever and placed an order with black jungle for two neps and a dew.. Pics upon arrival
As promised, pics of the jamban. I re-potted it in my nep mix (1:1:1 peat moss/aps/orchid bark). It seems to be loving it!
