Fantastic Butch, it's great to see that these these 'difficult' plants aren't so impossible, and yours on the contrary looks quite happy!!

 

[Clue]

Shiny green growth and a splendidly grown plant.

Thanks all...

Didn't take long to adjust to the new bulbs/spectra, in the first pic you can see the effects of the transitional period

Actually, the light levels are considerably higher in the second image...

Butch,

Did you trim away old leaves -- those red ones in the first photo?

David,

No.... they are just buried in the moss somewhere

Oh, same thing here. The leaves are incredibly long-lasting, even "buried" . . .

Great job, Butch. N. villosa leaves seem to last for years, and although pitchers may be slow to develop, they can persist for well over a year. (I must admit I'm lazy---should note when the next is fully open and get an accurate record.)

Good growing,
