Re: Truncata black from BE
wow...what a lil jewel!! i think you should cut back on the moss and provide more airier mix but still maintain high humidity and lots of sun....learnt from sifu nepnut and now my truncata is producing new pitcher and new leave.

Re: Truncata black from BE
Your plant look healthy given the current hot and dry weather.
Be prepared to spend 1-2 yrs as truncata is very very slow growing during seedling stage. I got a MT clone which I got almost 1.5 yrs ago similar size to your current BE black truncata, now it's about 5"-6" diameter only... sigh

Re: Truncata black from BE
Possibly a hybrid...the peristome looks quite like veitchii's, but otherwise, the two truncatas are extremely amazing plants.
Hopefully BE or somebody can come up with a more detailed explanation about these two plants.
