N. truncata 'Pasian'

[Cindy]

This is a highland form.

Top view. The leaves got smaller and smaller during the previous months with hot weather.



Then it suddenly put out a large pitcher with a slightly deformed peristome. This photo was taken on 15th this month.


The pitcher is colouring up nicely even in bright shade. Photos taken today.

Hi Cindy,

Nice N truncata "pasian" you have there.The leaf size has definitly reduced dramatically by comparing the older leaves with the newer ones...Your truncata looks fine to me except for the immature looking pitcher.My truncatas pitcher which i bought with had that weird looking shape exactly like yours but after the next pitcher came out it look perfectly normal with bronze peristrome and at 7"....So are you providing it with any sort of highland night drops???Maybe the weather is too hot for it therefore causing the plant to produce small leaves..anyone can share more light in this topic?

Ken, I wouldn't grumble if the next leaf is still small with a pitcher as large.

Anyway, the plant is grown in lowland conditions. Many of the S'pore growers have this species outdoors and it grows and pitchers just like the lowland form. Some say it is slower growing that's all.

Ooooooo

Anyways truncata is already a slow grower for me compared to all my other plants.Its a dream for all nep collectors to have small leaves with big pitchers saves place and also nice size pitchers.My truncata so far has smaller leaves and bigger pitchers.If yours turns out like what u say lucky you not like my N miranda big leaves and big pitcher :D
