Hi David, that's one of the favourites in my collection as well :P the underside of the leaves are all red :)

David, my house is located right behind a hill and further up, a forest. Thus, the humidity is quite constant though during a hot weather it can get really dry. I find this plant quite a hardy and tolerant hybrid though to get it to pitcher, it needs some humidity and sufficient water. The last time I hung the plant, it aborted 2 pitchers. I grow it in a mixture of burnt earth and peat moss which I really must say is a 'magic media' for almost all species and hybrids of neps. It gets lots of sunlight too, only a 50% shade cloth and a transparent plastic separates the burning direct sunlight from all my neps.

Reminds me when I first got the plant, I almost killed it. :blush: then I returned it to Fauzi and he was very kind to offer another lowii x campa that was the same size but growing healthily. That was 9 months back. I glad to say that my former plant survived in Fauzi's nursery and my current lowii x campa thrives amazingly well! :smile:
