If I wanted to grow a pitcher plant but one that had short pitchers (the shorter the better) and pitchers that grew upright (the more straight up the better) what plant would best meet those criteria?
I grow S.purpurea, rubra and psittacina in my terrarium and they've managed to stay small and healthy. If you have to choose one, I agree with Alvin that S.rubra is probably your best bet.
The shortest is S.purpurea. Mine is growing fat and very sturdy. Even the flower is short. Minors can get tall. I have some 1.5 feet tall. Some get three feet tall. Here is a pic of my S.purpurea
Okay, thanks for the information. And Lord Humungus your S.purpurea looks very healthy...and I like the big VFT trap at the bottom right of your photo.
