It is a tiny plant I recently acquired that looks like it has never pitchered. The leaves do not look consistent, much less good.
I "know" that my soil mixture is wrong, as of last night. I'm using peat. I got that from Savage Garden, I think. It was one of my two books anyway. My confidence is high on that one.
I "know" that the northiana needs "highland" conditions, as of last night. What? I got that information from a legitimate nepenthes expert here in Florida who was nice enough to e-mail me back with a tip that might help explain why the northiana is my worst looking plant. So, I guess my confidence is high on that also -- except that it's a darn "lowland" plant, I thought. Function versus formalism strikes again?
Anything else? Am I right so far?
As I mentioned at the top, it's a tiny little plant that has not pitchered yet. The leaves are growing in some strange shapes. It has some rusty spotting. As you might have seen on the Weather Channel, or heard in my other posts, we've had good "lowland" conditons in Central Florida.
