I've had this N. khasiana for a while now. It has always been a good grower, but lately it's been acting a little... weird.
First, it started making smaller leaves with less space between the internodes, but the pitcher size didn't decrease:
I assumed this was the result of high light (it grows, like everything else in a SSW-facing window w/ supplemental fluorescent light).
But then, along with the small leaves, it threw out this crooked pitcher:
The pitcher wasn't growing against anything else, so there's no obvious cause of the deformity.
To top it off, here's the growth point:
The newest leaf seems extra-curly.
I've checked for pests and can't find any evidence of spider mites, thrips, etc. Summer heat? But it made it through last summer sans problème and it hasn't even been that hot here in New Haven. The other Neps are fine.
Any ideas?
