Wow, that's amazing! Looking at your plants makes me want to try a couple growing nepenthes! Are you using the lights above the plant in addition to the natural sunlight they receive? If so, what kind of bulbs are you using?
 
yeah, the neps don't need the additional lighting but some other cps on the same shelf benefit from the light. it's just a wallyworld 4 ft fixture with 2 40 watt cool bulbs.
 
Do you feed it the cherry Coke?

If enough of it makes US get bigger, then will a relative amount in the pitchers make the plants grow larger too??

Hmmm....

I think I'll wait to read the results of somebody else testing that theory before I try it on my own plants!

damn nice looking plant.
 
Very nice plant ! I can asume that it is a lowland truncata ? can't wayt till my highlander gets a bit bigger.
