That veitchii x fusca should start looking awesome soon. Does it get morning, noon, or afternoon light? And how long does it get light? That's the #1 factor in getting Neps to pitcher - good light, and a lot of it!
Hi Jimmy

Thanks my N veitchii x fusca gets dappled direct sunlight around well morning till evening.I let it get its sunlight the whole day dappled by my palm tree and N truncata leaves.So its quite dappled but when i mean direct sun i mean the scroching sun without any cover.I do this because i figured that since N veitchii grows by the trees it should get sunlight like that way.Its current pitcher just opened and is around 8-9cm tall when it full opens and its quite hairy too.On its previous pitcher i saw 2 tiny stripes on its lime green peristrome heheheh maybe the colours are starting to show after all.Well i guess all thats in the way now is time.

Ken,

Sounds like you'll soon have a very happy and nice-growing plant! For a while before I recieved my N. veitchii, its previous owner had it in dappled sunlight as well, if I remember correctly. That striped perisome should look very nice as well.

I like fusca x veitchii than veitchii x fusca!
The fusca x veitchii is more fusca like and very colourful!
