Thanks David. The pitchers on my plants really aren't that huge :P . It's mall average sized stuff, save for the lowii x truncata and when my other truncata hybrids perform. The largest I had was 14" from that one pitcher, while the newest measures only 12" . I'll call it huge once I get a merrilliana x truncata and grow it out :P . But all I do with my plants is water them regularly, plant them in either sphagnum or fine wood chips with coco chips, add a worm casting mixture to the soil, fertilize in the warm months with liquid seaweed ferts and some other growth stimulants, and let the mild weather we've had in CA for the past year do its stuff :P. When the weather doesn't cooperate, nothing I do really matters, so I've been lucky.
More pics-
The newest pitcher is 12", still smaller than the largest one which was 14".
