Re: N fusca VS N boschiana
my experience is th 3 years here are no problems growing boschiana at lowland. i have a plant from about 3-4 years ago and it is still alive though stressed out at my in-law's place, from too much sun. leaves getting smaller and a couple of flower stalks (it's a female plant). since i took it back, the leaves are getting much larger and i pollinate it with some rafflesiana x veitchii pollen. wonder what comes out of it??
another boschiana i got recently, also grows well with good size pitchers.
however, i find fusca difficult in lowland conditions. i got a couple of small plants from BE and the leaves keep getting smaller. another plant from sabah also not doing to well. however, i have a plant from years ago, think it is fusca. when they are sold in most nurseries, which is growing well. maybe a sarawakian?? so, in a nutshell, boschianas are great but fuscas are temperamental.
