Time to show the best of my neps yet

The pitcher has red dots! First time for me



The size of the pitcher compared to my little finger.


Pitcher compared to the previous pitcher before it, look at the size increase

Does this look strange?


I plan to make a shade house for my neps here. There's one advantage, and thats the small forest on the small hill behind it

Sorry for the quality, my camera isn't that good

More to come next time!

Plant in a wide shallow pot and let the top layer be more moist. As long as the pitchers can rest on the media, they will develop.

Too late my northiana is already dead couple of months back....I did that but it just didn't do well and slowly withered as though it couldn't absorb water..

[edwardyeeks]

I find northiana quite hardy. When I grew it at my balcony, it pitchered, just not with the colour and size of current pitchers. Also, if you noticed I planted it in a big pot is because there will be more humidity from the soil surrounding the plant. It also eliminates the need to repot the plant within a short period of time.
