You're such a master for growing any kind of nepenthes. I can't imagine growing N. maxima to be difficult for you. N. maxima grows very well warm for me. I should stress bright light and a lot of moisture are necessity to growing this species. You're going to hate what I am about to say, but seed original maximas grow like weeds for me, while tc clones of maximas are slower and more steadily growing. I still have a few maximas from MT and BE which are struggling and I am hoping to take cuttings off of them and hopefully able to reroot them onto a better root stock for growing. The seedlings from collected seeds and EP's cross-breeds are all wild growing vines and do very well. I am proud of their maxima (L and M) series which have produced prolific progeny with wide flaring peristomes with some an intense brown to blackish.
These plants do, however, tend to vine rapidly making a crazy display of uppers after about their fifth or sixth pitcher for me.
Try growing them in a heavier mixture of heavy on the peat, fine bark, and some perlite, especially at the drain region to keep drain holes open. They are heavy feeders with regular feeding of a seaweed or soluble orchid fertilizer type. Give them good air circulation and allow the media to dry out from exposure to winds. But water them often, they love water!

Jonathan,
You are not the only one drooling over the aris hybrid. I am a sucker for any aris, talang hybrid.
Rgds,
Isaac
