Nice plant, Jose. I just wish the species wasn't so damned prone to Cercospora infection -- the leaves inevitably age badly with loads of spots. :-(
 
not on my plant,i grow my robc in low humidity maybe thats why i have not had problems with this,sweet looking pitcher,much nicer looking than my robc
 
Thank you, Paul! And I completely agree, it's not a pretty sight. I wonder if under more shade would the problem persist?
Thank you, corky!

My own experience with two of these (both unique, from the seed-grown shipments) has illustrated that the leaf spotting happens only during the summer months, when light levels go way up. Last June-October, my larger of the two was situated at the south end of the greenhouse and got no shade whatsoever, and it was really badly marked up by the end of the growing season. This year, both plants will be moved to a spot where they are always protected by share cloth. We shall see.
 
nice Favian,i am trying to get hold of an n.eymae i hear they are easy growers,and i will add my robc has never seen high light levels so Paul could be on to something
