Good to hear that. Maybe you could post us a photo and let us drool over it.

I think rajah can actually grow for you in lowland if your growing area has a regular drop down to at least 24-26C at night. The problem is that its a light loving species and it won't pitcher if the area isn't bright enough. Another problem is that its a fussy plant and utterly hates being transplanted. I had one growing at my window till it had leaves the size of my palm but had itchy fingers and transplanted it...and it was gone.

My current rajah is still small, but is healthy and pitchering. It grows at my window with normal day temps and air-con(~22-24C) at night. You don't need a terrarium for it...if you're going to take all the trouble setting up a terrarium, you might as well grow a hamata :P

Thanks for the info. BTW. Any latest photo to show. Frankly, to date, I have not able to see a good specimen in our lowland conditions. That's why I post this thread. Ya man, hamata would be ultimate. Or wait... Villosa... (I am dreaming...)

Yeah, I want that too. Waiting... Wonder when is Fauzi stocking this one.

right now i have nepenthes villosa, diatas, and rajah growing in the same pot, and they r thriving by the cool window in my room. actually everything is doing great, but bical and mirabilis var. echinostoma r naturally having troubles...grunt. The trio in the pot r farely small, but very vigorous. i am relieved lol oh yeah, and there is also a 1 yr old capensis to the right of villosa, and it seems to be just fine

Vin,

Wanna remind you though that rajah ahs a very big root system and by time passes you will have difficulty repotting the plants or they won't grow properly.

Just an advice
