Hi folks,
Today I spent a lot of money (โ) on a N. maxima from the orchid shop (I know it's too much compared to ordering from online). It is a cutting which is about a 2-3 feet long vine but none of the leaves have pitchers. To fit it into my terrraium I'll have to do some cutting and my plan is to cut it way back to only 1-2 leaves and make the rest of the vines into 1 and 2 node cuttings.
My question is will it do OK in my Intermediate/lowland terrarium? and is there anything special I need to do for it? I have books that list N. maxima but nothing beats hearing first hand advice from sucessfull growers through forums like this one!
I am surprised it doesn't have pitchers being that it was growing in a greenhouse but since mine pitcher well in the terrarrium I figured this would too after a while...
