miranda(?) cutting update

Hi all,

Back in April I received 2 MONSTER cuttings from ilbasso. I tried a couple of different potting mixes, but the cuttings did not seem to be doing anything so I switched up. I lost one cutting to an early freeze, and maybe a media mix that was too chunky for a cutting. But the other I put in staight perlite,(Cindys post regarding straight perlite and cuttings was a God send),in this wine goblet, the cutting began to grow. These were taken mid September.

The first pitcher starting to form.

In early Octoober I repoted to this;

And the first pitcher had grown to this;

Mid October the second pitcher had formed and I had these, first on the left second on the right.

The plant grew like mad, the third tendril stretched into the lighting while I was out of town and got burnt to a crisp. I had to take it out of the terrarium. During acclimation I lost both pitchers, here is the plant now;

And a new pitcher forming;

Getting the plant acclimated to my climate has been slow, but it is finally taking a turn. Growth has slowed considerably since I moved it from the terrarium. The lower leaves paled and were not happy. But the 2 newest leaves are nice and green and waxy.

So, hopefully it will pick up again here soon. Thanks ilbasso for the cuttings, I appreciate the opportunity.

I got an extreamly large cutting from him too, but i only got one and it ended up dieing :(

It's nice to see that someone was successful :)
