I like playing fairy-godmother to neglected plants. During my last trip to Cameron Highland back in early august, I 'saved' a good-sized N. truncata for next to nothing. The plant was covered in dust, no pitcher - just the shape of the leaves gives away it's variety. Took it home, gave it a good bath & brushing using sable hair's - it was almost decent looking
After a couple of months, it produced a miniscule pitcher, barely 2" long. The next leaf looks more promising, the pitcher doubling in size weekly. As we were leaving for the long Eid weekend, I noticed that the pitcher was about 4" + the lid has not open yet, there's still hope there
When I got back yesterday morning, the lid is just opening, I was too sleepy to measure the size properly, so I just used my palm to eyeball it. Much later, after 2 loads of laundry, I measure my palm.
Surprised, thinking that I must have measured a leaf or something else during the early morning
I took a ruler to the garden. So it's true, I did measure the new pitcher, and it is slightly more than 6" long!
Not bad for a charity case huh!
