Hi Marvin,
Here's the latest on my N. lowii x campanulata. It just been through about 1 month + of dry season with low humidity. It's not looking it's best now... :crying:

Trimmed off many dried leaves so not many leaves left but can see new pitcher forming now... :smile:

Just can't help but notice, what chunky media are you using? Looks like burnt earth but it is large. Also, you drill your pots?

Hi CJ,
Yup, I'm using chunky burnt earth for this and yes, most of my neps pots were drilled. I believed most nep preferred well circulated media, I learned this (drilled pot)from fellow growers in Indonesia and Thailand.

ken, heat the end of the screwdriver, place on the pot side where u want to make holes. push softly and while the plastic melt make a slight round turn to make a perfect round hole.

That the pitcher formed just when you bought it?
