Well they are putting out new leaves, but I don't think they were liking my highland night time temps drops, that I was originally giving them.

I put them back into a more lowland/intermediate setup and they seem to be happier now.

Where'd you get the N. Truncata black? Is that the one that was the size of a dime? How long did it take for it to grow so big?

Ripoff?! I certainly wouldn't say so...

These plants have some serious potential, IMO. Take a look at the parents of these seedlings.

Haha, that's funny. Certainly not a rip off, it's worth it man! It's not even that expensive.

In reference to the Black Truncata , I am still not thinking that its a True Truncata i think is a Hybrid . BE has a ALOT of Making up to do after their lil Sib x Hamata episode ., but we will soon see since EP is Remaking the Sib x Hamata.
Any how Nice Trun's

Eh, I guess you're right. $60 is just $10 more than a Wii game. And no tax! But is the N. Truncata black's pitchers going to grow as big as the King of Spades or Queen of Hearts?

In time, it will... Think of it like a regular N. truncata, the pitchers grow really huge (and I mean really huge, I believe the big specimen at Peter D'Amato's has pitchers about half a meter tall)

woah! I wonder what the story behind it is. Like, did the people who own the plants live next to each other, cut off flower stalks, did one person buy the plant from the other, did they send each other nectar, did they have any relationship, how did they meet?
