Hello all,
I'm new to the list and I have a porblem that I'm hoping someone here can help me with.
I got an N. truncata x veitchia Batu Balu in the mail about two months ago (I think the veitchii is a highlander because the pitchers have very striped peristomes). The plant is very large, about 16-18 inches in diamiter.
I potted it in a large orchid hanging basket in mainly sphagnum moss (I also soaked the roots in superthrive).
It is outside under a large umbrella (I live in Miami Fl) where I mist it several times a day. The plant is treated as a lowlander.
The problem is that the growing point has not continued to grow (it hasn't turned brown either). The plant in general seems to be very healthy and, if worse comes to worse, there are enough nodes on it to make a new growing point.
Anyone have suggestions on why it hasn't grown?
Regards, Hamata
