got the camra out...taking the pic right now.
here's one.
on the left side you can see a N. maxima and a N. alata right in front of it. I can't get the Maxima to make lower pitchers. don't know how.
Nice flag, eh?
here's a closeup:
ok.ok. it's not exactly an inch longer, but hey, it's a ventrincosa!

this is what it looks like now:

What conditions are you growing those nepenthes in? My ventricosa is a really crappy grower
. It has slow growth, sometimes deformed, brown spotted leaves, and no pitcher production. One of my other ones seems to be doing fine though....
Nice pics. Looks like your N. maxima is making upper pitchers so don't expect lower ones. MAYBE if you chop it way back you can get a basal shoot that will produce lower pitchers.
Also can you edit your photos before posting to the web so they are a bit smaller in dimension?

I've tried everything to make them smaller. I just figured out that when I take Macro-zooms it seems to make the pics bigger.

ok. here's the details:
First, I grow them on a south-eastern (mostly east) window. (I'll get into details in just a sec
) {I do NOT grow it in a terrarium.} I give it bright to full sun from 9-12. after twelve, (if it was a day with full sun) I close the blinds halfway so it gets full sun for 10 mins, them shade for 10 mins, then full sun for 10 mins, etc, etc...
Humidity and temp.:
They get a constant humidity of about 60-70% in the night, (on the coast here in CAlifornia it's almost always foggy every night) about 80%
Temps are around 60*-70*,sometimes, at the most, 75*-80* on very hot days
EDIT: Tell me if you want more and/or better details

Watering:
I give it a good watering every 3 days and leave a little water at the bottom of the pot. every 2 weeks or so I give it a drying out of about 3 days, (I empty the little water that's at the bottom of the pot,too) but if it starts to look too dry before 3 days I water it.
