Hi Ali

Well i don't really know much about that since it has never ever happened to my N truncata or any of my other neps....All i know its a pitcher deformality???Or maybe its a mutant hehehehe from TC..If its a Highland form maybe its because of the lowland conditions.

I have seen this before in some of my neps.Probably due to:
1.Recent repot.
2.Defect.
3.Injury when growing.
4.Heat stress.The lid shrink.

It'll be alright just give it time to recover from the repotting stress.But it could take some time.

I've had something similar happen to my truncata before. I think it has something to do with watering. When I let the soil dry out a little bit to much while the pitcher is forming this sort of thing ends up happening. The pitchers seem to turn out fine though after they open completely, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Hi

A little of topic here but i realised also that my N truncata opens its lids very fast when its quite a small size.Normally when pitchers open it means it shouldn't grow much in size anymore.But my N truncata continues to grow in size even after being already opened.

Hi Ken,
this is actually quite common among a few neps... I have observed the same thing on hookeriana, ampullaria and a few others, once the lid opened, the picther will continue to grow and form until it reach it's fully formed stage.
