I got this one from Wistuba. It was about a quarter of an inch across when I got it in 1998. Its been a slow but steady grower.[b said:Quote[/b] (nepenthes_lover @ July 02 2004,5:22)]Where did you get it? I'd love a villosa!

Its great seeing the change in Neps as they go from juvenile to more mature growth isn't it Dustin[b said:Quote[/b] (nepenthes gracilis @ July 02 2004,6:12)]Wow! Wonderful bill! Mines not too far behind yours...next pitcher or 2 may be doozies!
I grow mine on the floor of my cool highland Neps house. It gets more shade there which it likes along with my rajah and other ultrahighlanders.[b said:Quote[/b] (Pressure @ July 02 2004,7:49)]Those pics are awesome! What conditions?
Cool! I can't wait until I'm older whenever I can actually afford to keep ultrahighland neps happy. That will be the day.[b said:Quote[/b] (fly-catchers @ July 03 2004,11:16)]I grow mine on the floor of my cool highland Neps house.

how long have you been growing them?[b said:Quote[/b] (Starman @ July 04 2004,4:13)]I keep Npenthes maxima and Nepenthes ventricosa x alata on my windowsill and desk, they are doing fine. I dont see why people should have problems growing ANY highland neps on a windowsill.

Wait until your plant sarts to develop a climbing stem. N. villosa do an amazing thing in the wild when they start to climb. If the plant has grown at the base of a tree instead of amongst low shrubs (through which it will scramble), it will press its self against the trunk, wrap its petioles around and then link the tendrils on the opposite side so as to be literaly hugging the tree in order to climb. The visual effect of this is some what astounding when first seen.
