Ok, so how big does

I have an old wine chiller that is about 36"x24"x24".
It would be easy to rig a light on a timer.
How long do you guys think this will work, size wise?
 
It should work if you keep it cut down but for your first 2 years or so it should be fine. My N. hamata's lower rosette is about 45 cm with tendrils & pitchers included. The leaves are 18 cm each. As it climbs the leaves get smaller (about 10-12 cm in length) but the tendrils on the upper pitchers seem to need stakes to grab onto to form pitchers. I should warn you that the internodes between leaves on the climbing stem is quite large about 8 cm so between each leaf is 3 inches of stem!
