I just ordered four plants: N. bongso, N. albomarginata, N. stenophylla, and N. mikei.
I would just like a little insight at the size of the pitchers, lower and upper, and the plant itself. Growth rate, on a scale of very slow, slow, medium, fast, and very fast, would be appreciated.
N. bongso - highland - lowers get reasonably large and are deep purple, uppers are pure green. The plant overall is reasonably large. It is grows at a fairly decent pace.
N. albomarginata - lowland/intermediate - can be fairly slow in the rosette stage but can grow rapidly once vining. Pitchers are fairly small, but vary a bit depending on variety. Is not such a big plant, but internodes can be distantly placed in climbing stem. Not much difference between uppers and lowers.
N. stenophylla - highland - not a fast grower, medium sized, lowers are specked purple on cream and are a bit larger than uppers, which are simalarly coloured but a bit paler.
N. mikei - highland - a diminutive species, both in terms of leaf and pitcher size, rapid grower, climbing stem again has decent internodal distance. Uppers are paler than lowers.
