The leaf most pobably has been infected by insect - a small yellowish insect of which I have yet to know the name. It sucked the sap of the young leaf leaving red spot on the leaf.

1 week prior to shipment of the plant to you, I have sprayed the plant with insecticide - Malathion. Normally for every treatment I will spray them 3 times on a 10 days intervals. Should the insect still exist on the leaf you can spray it once again with Malathion ( dilution : 1ml / 2 liter water). Malathion is consider a more active insecticide compare to Cypermethrin (0.05) of which works on other insect.

From my experience, N.truncata and N.fusca are most prone to this kind of attack.

Thanks.

I have 2 kinds of truncata: the green and red peristom:

My Truncata: when a new leaf has produce a pitcher, the older pitcher will tend to dry up.. so, at most, my Truncata will have only 2-3 pitchers at a time..
