Hi fc3srx713b:

Yes, After 18 months of successful cultivation, now i have three stalks in this plant and each one is or has been producing a flower spike within the last 2 months.
Although very tolerant of cold weather, it grows more actively in summer. One will have to get used to chopping vines from time to time or it'll take over your greenhouse.
it produces lower and upper pitchers without support
IMO, the best replacement for bored ventrata growers.

My experience is the same. For whatever reason, this nepenthes cannot be stopped. It produces basals quickly, forms uppers and lowers, and seems to be among the fastest growing. Mine fell, creasing the main vine badly. It didn't care. The vine kept growing despite being badly damaged, and two basals appeared. It's a great one because the pitchers are interesting no matter what size. I agree, this should replace the N. x ventrata as the go-to easy nepenthes because it's much better looking, imo.

My largest pitchers are about the size of your fist (if you have a big hand.) It's in the middle of this picture, and the largest one is the pitcher towards the back on the left of the pot.

This is a beautiful plant! The largest pitchers I got were 7 inches (18 cm) uppers were never as large (about 5 inches) but still awesome!
Mine first flowered in summer 04 and flowered continuously throughout 2005 (it's a female). I grow mine in highland conditions next to my true N. aristo. Both competed to see who could grow the longest last year. the thor x aristo won out with 3 five foot stalks whereas aristo only made two very long stalks and a basal. FYI both were in nothing but 4" pots of 1/2 spagnum 1/2 fine orchid bark as well!

There will be plenty of rootted cuttings of both available on ebay this summer... hint hint

And here is a pic of a new pitcher, it seems that this one will be bigger than the previous. At least i hope so:

Tony: how much do you sell these for when they are availiable
 
Hi all:

Relative lower humidity depends on the place where you grow yours. 30% is fine for this plant.
