just got this one potted up the pitchers are suffering a little from the transition, but it seems to be putting on some new growth , hope i can keep it going through winter , i put in a very large pot as recommended so it will have a better chance.

Why are worried about keeping it going over the winter....are they hard to keep alive or something?

probably not its just new to me, and was a bit pricey, iv only lost a couple sarrs over the two seasons ive been growing them, so wish me luck.

I think that the key to keeping them over the winter is to keep them a bit dryer so that they don't rot, I keep some sarrs and a bunch of VFTs and never lost one over the winter, I think it is because I make sure they stay moist but not wet. Good luck with it, but I'm sure you'll do just fine.

Very nice! I thought about getting one of those. I got a 'Craig Rudman' instead.

some one had to get a bite out of the first nice pitcher its producing since i got it 4 weeks back,hope it fell in (meal for a meal).
It seems to be adjusting well so far.

That's a new one on me. What species go into it?

Maybe i wasnt clear something ate about 1/2 of the lid notice in the picture the lid is damaged and is missing the whole right side , i was just kidding on the meal for a meal, is that what you were asking?

...hope it fell in (meal for a meal)

[uphwiz]
