Holy Moly! A GALLON pot?? Man, and I though MINE was doing well...how long have you had that plant? I just may have to move mine to a larger pot! It's still in a 4" pot, and has a diameter of at least 7 or 8"....Guess it's time, eh?
There has been some interesting threads in the past on pot size for Nepenthes. Most books recommend(I think) a 6" for small ones and a 10-12" for larger ones.
I believe Tony likes smaller pots...actually he might not have a choice with his packed greenhouse, lol, and Rob mentioned a 3' (yes, foot)diameter bical in a 3 or 4" pot.
Maybe the lighting is off, but I see what Andenes is saying. Otherwise, it seems to be enjoying it's large home.
My N. fusca is still tiny, only 4" around. What's strange is that the leaves start out shiny red-brown, but then turn to a green color. On most of my neps, it happens the other way around (turning to whatever color they may), and start out green.
