N. truncata

  • #21
My truncata grew verrrrrrry slowly when I first got it...it stayed small for a long time with 2" pitchers. Then all of sudden it started growing much faster. I wouldn't say FAST exactly but definitely a faster rate. It started throwing large pitchers pretty quickly...it went from pitchers of a few inches to a 7". It has a 9" pitcher now. But it is getting cramped...a situation I must solve soon.

Cindy: Oh, I notice pitchers popping up everywhere...

But I guess you mean the photo. This is a N. ventricosa x northiana, a pretty hybrid so far, you can see a complete pitcher if you click my www-button below. I'll try to keep it in the picture. This kind of lowland-Truncata wouldn't turn that dark (I know there is a very dark Highland form).
Trent: I am surprised that you say that TC-plants are faster, I keep on reading it the other direction a lot. But I can not really judge since I am traveling too much to establish long term relationships with my Neps.

I guess these Malesiana plants are also TC'ed.
Photoperiod is also around 13:11.
