Very nice! looks big already i cant imagine what the max size is,..
with the merrilliana, does the plant its self grow big, as in vine like the bical would do, or does it stay a compact grower while producing bigger leaves of course with the pitchers
if its no problem could you take a picture of the whole plant?
thank you

Hi,
Glad to hear that you found the image interesting!
At your request, here is an image of the entire plant.
I'm afraid that it's not very easy to make out the plant,
since it's surrounded by others, but it's the large plant in
the center of the image. Note that a new leaf is unfurling, and
that it is rather reddish in color. This is typical, and the leaf
will lose its ruddy hue as it matures. The pitcher featured
in the previous image is difficult to see, but it is on the left.
I don't recall just how old this plant is, but I know I've had it for
a few years. It is somewhere between 60 and 90 cm in diamter;
certainly not fully grown. Recently, it produced a basal shoot,
which is coming along nicely. Overall, a very beautiful species!

Love the merrilliana! Our plant is about 14 inches across and potted in a three gallon pot. Its got a ground shoot with cute little pitchers, and the tendrils on the main vine are starting to hook-last trap was back in Nov. Typically, it slows down for us during the winter and takes a rest. Our website sgould be up in the near future with pictures.

Great pic! It looks like a jungle!
my truncata has really fat leaves but i mean with the bical it has long fat ones, strange,
