LOL Shawn,

It's actually some Ziploc storage container, which is the only shallow sized thing I coud find to bury an old 6 inch woody stem sideways in effort to get it to produce more basals; it's just under the LFS and cedar bark mulch. Hopefully, I'll have some cuttings of it next Spring. I find that if the potting media is too deep, the compst starts to rot after some time. These shallow things dry out and drain quicker too.

Not sure if Stewart has this in his book; these plants haven't been found since John Turnbull saw them way back in the early 80's, and that site may not even exist now!

A few others who grow this plant have mentioned that it's growth behavior seems to be fairly constant, even if it's grown under lights at 16 hr photoperiod in their bedroom all year long with the same temps; it grows and produces pitchers for a few months, then suddenly just stops growing, or slows down to a crawl for a few months, refusing to produce pitchers. Then it decides to kick in gear again, and many of the old tendrils resume growth and form pitchers, and some seem to open at the same time. - Rich
