Well It only Took TWO year's
 

Well I bought this plant 2 years ago from Ebay (Sam) The plant was HUGE when I got it . It had two 18 inch vines.
N. Medusa (N. Sib x N. Bellii )

This plant seems too Basal, basal, basal, then start to die off, I assume from the stress. Then I removed all of the basals from the main vine, and would basal one more time then die off . I have seen this happen nearly 3 times in two years.

Now that I have had and saved this plant from its' unknown killer twice I have learned a pinch about it . I have noticed in my care , an experience that this hybrid seems to only grow in the highest range of humidity, Mine is 90% and above at all times. Light doesn't seem to be an issue due to the two parents not being Sun lovers (" Light- Shaded conditions. It grows very well in a large chamber under lights. )( http://www.cpjungle.com/nucbel.htm ) CP Jungle). But I have mine growing under just regular shop lights from home depot ,staying on for about 14 hrs,as well as a heat mat under the pots.

So with out further due here it is in all its glory FINALLY after two years.

2years... You really have patient... The pitcher at 3rd photo looks like my sibuyensis x merriliana...

so it keeps on getting smaller?

I think he means the N.Medusa never pitchered until now, Vincent :D

Re: Well It only Took TWO year's
 

I meant both .

Both Sib an Bellii need the highest humidity they can get , and I never could give that to this plant until now.
