N. sp1 Ch'ien was going to help me out on this one, but any other input is valued!

Cheers!
 
Yes, I'm glad I didn't get one when I had the terrarium, this thing isn't very large pitchered yet, but its leaves are big and pendulous. Any ideas on sp. #1?
 
Nick,

Spathulata, in my experience anyway, has proven to be an extremely easy species to grow. For a highland species, it has a high tolerance of warm nights for several months, and seems to tolerate lower humidity than many species as well.
 
Nick about 50-52F at night and 75-80F in the day. Humidity is always at least 60%.

Glider- sure throw some at me!

fc3srx713b what do you mean papery? Neither really are, the spathulata has a truncata-like texture. Very tough and rubbery.

N. spathulata has always been a strong grower in my conditions.  The plant below was acquired as a seedling from a sib cross made by Peter D'Amato years ago.  It's been "pruned" many times and forms basal shoots fairly regularly.

Hi, without seeing the leaves or bigger pitchers it's hard to guess, but the sp.1 reminds me of N. neoguineensis. Do you know anything more about it (grower, site of origin, some more photos...) ?
