cool pither. You are certainly luckier than me.

I have small pitchers from my northiana younglings but the adult female plant is still being very "pregnant dogy" of the environment. Produced long tendrils but no pitchers.

northiana mostly found on limestone cliff ali... so many grower suggest that additional limestone (batu kapur) would benefit them

Yes, some limestone at the bottom and there is some limestone chips mix with the medium too.

Some northiana grow in full sun in the wild.
Also, when I had one, I grew it under very bright lights, which it liked more than in the shade. I don't think this species loves shade as much as is oft repeated.
