Me either. DVG has really shown us the potential beauty of this plant. The colors, patterns, lid shape, pitcher shape, peltate leaves & on & on. After seeing this thread, N. clipeata has been added to my fairly-short list of wanted Neps...WOW!! I never realized that clipeata had such colorful pitchers!
Wow! So they stay smaller and don't get that wide? I guess I do notice my small ones seriously bending their leaves under...
Any cooler in the basement?Growing this plant on a window sill for a year may have contributed to its slowness though, because once i moved it back under the basement lights, it started back to its previous regular growth pattern again.

I've always seen this plant listed as lowland and immediately eliminated it from my list. However, after reading this thread last year, I did a bit more research & found that it grows at 600-800 M while N. tenuis grows at 1000 M. After reading about your conditions and knowing that N. tenuis hasn't been fussy - I'm definitely interested in giving this one a shot.
Last year I grew a N. maxima (formerly eymae) on the windowsill and it pitchered there year-round. It's nice to have at least a few non-fussy plants to share my living area...
What an excellent update Doug! I love N. clipeata's leaves so much, its really a shame AW ran out!
I'm insanely taken by and jealous of your glorious clipeata . I'm going to sit mine next to your pictures as inspiration for when they 'grow up'.
Wow that leaf is shiinnnyyy incredible plant
