I purchased a N. lowii a while ago (7/02)and it really hasn't done much of anything. It's put out one leaf (maybe two) since I got it but no pitchers on the new leaves and they are small (only a hair bigger than the previous leaves. but they do have long tendrils) The other highlanders are potted in the same 50/50 blend of orchid bark and LFS (few handfuls of charcoal). The others seem to be doing OK so is it just that lowiis are exceedingly slow?
