cool pither. You are certainly luckier than me.

I have small pitchers from my northiana younglings but the adult female plant is still being very "pregnant dogy" of the environment. Produced long tendrils but no pitchers.

KK, like any other neps it was common for them to suffer from rust when exposed to full sun.

northiana mostly found on limestone cliff ali... so many grower suggest that additional limestone (batu kapur) would benefit them

Some northiana grow in full sun in the wild.
Also, when I had one, I grew it under very bright lights, which it liked more than in the shade. I don't think this species loves shade as much as is oft repeated.
