You are absolutely correct. I have seen this sp gave a big pitcher from a grower fan. The key is to make sure high humid and cool.

Compare all among family.. I like Bario the most

Robert, mind share the medium for veitchii that you have come across? Who know one day they will be in my growlist....

Currently all my nep medium mixed with coconut chip + sphagnum moss.

Some members mentiond coconut chip produce acid and oil which harm to the plant. Not sure is it true or not.... did you face problem when using coconut chip after few years?

I never face these problems. Possibly the oil ( coconut oil ) spilled on the husk when extracting the juice and kernel.

They are awesome. There are 15 of you, with Mike Lo and George?
Did you take a closer look if the main stem produced roots while clasping and growing upwards?
