Hi
I got a reasonable sized N. maxima x mixta in 1997. It had two growing points which developed very quickly. The pitchers were about 6 inches in size and one of the stems eventually grew to about 5 foot! At that point I trimmed both stems back. It now has four growing points and is in a larger pot.
But since 1999 when I did this, growth has slowed right down. None of the stems are more than a few inches in length and typical pitcher size is now about 3-4 inches
Could this slow down be caused by the extra growing points do you think? None of the growing conditions have changed, and it still looks healthy.
At the time I trimmed it back I did use them as cuttings, but they didn't take
Any suggestions?
cheers
