Default Re: How to get big petpitchers?

Guess it boils down to the basic cultivation of Nepenthes... Lots of Sunlight, Humidity and Water.

Of course the plant must be supplemented with insect prey or fertiliser. But note not all fertiliers can be used. What growers use are plant hormones, organic fetrtilisers, etc. Fertilisers burn the roots and kill the plant and it is a controversial subject among growers.
