The real question is since we know it feeds on poo,
who's gonna be the first to crap in their pitcher?

LOL!
When I was growing Neps it was assumed that N. lowii was dumped in by Sunbirds (kinda like hummingbirds I guess). Cool article & pic - even if it was from Fox... :D

So... Are these grown in cultivation a lot? Do they grow in the same way in cultivation? Wikipedia suggests that only the high up pitchers do this.

Yes, there are quite a few people who have these in collections that are producing these upper pitchers. Of course it takes them a long time to get to that point though.
