Nice!!!!!!...............My penang red albo lost all its pitchers because of my stupidity.......I know they grow in full sun but after i bought it i put it into direct sun immediatly and so now it only has one pitcher which it just grew after the stress.

I found albo prefer drier media, so let the media dry a bit in between watering seems to promote growth provided all the other factors are also in optimal level as well. Hope this help.

Well I water my black albo when its dry(Actually I do this to all my neps, when the sphagnum is dry I water until its wet).I rarely mist it. I put it in full sun after I bought it. So far no side effects. Already produced 4-5 new pitchers.

wow! thanks for the info guys.. actually ive googled this species but cant find much info on it...

but ive read somewhere that it likes direct sunlight.. so now.. the trick is to slowly introduce it to direct sunlight..

and i must water it sparingly..
