I have an N. truncata 'pasian highland' growing in a hot environment and it is growing well. However, like Shawn stated, it always has 1-2 healthy pitchers and all the rest have already started to dry up or have begun the wilting process. It also lacks the intense red coloration on the pitchers like I have seen in pictures of other highland truncatas, but this could also be attributed to the fact that it is still a young plant. It is however growing well and getting bigger and bigger with every leaf and pitcher. I could be wrong, but for some reason the truncata pictures and actual plants I have seen never have a numerous array of healthy pitchers, just 1-3 and the rest have begun to dry. The pitchers do last a long time however, and this might also be attributed to the fact that truncata grows sowly and it puts a lot of energy into making each massive pitcher. Perhaps it does not need more than 1-3 at a time. I would love to hear other peoples opinions and experiences with truncata to see if this is in fact a normal habit of the plant.

Take care everyone, later.....
