Today I have ordered some Nepenthes mostly lowlands.
And the truncata I have heard should be fairly easy to grow also ?

N. rafflesiana
N. ampullaria "Speckled"
N. bicalcarata "Red Flush"
N. truncata "Highland Red"
N. hirsuta

I hope they will grow nice at my home (:

Well I can speak a little bit on behalf of the truncata, but I have only had it for a week or so. They are VERY hardy plants. Mine didn't even show any signs of environment shock when I got it. Mine is the Pasian lowland variety though so I am not too sure about the differences between mine and yours. I also ordered a Bical red and an ampullaria last night :). Where did you get yours from?

Yeah I have also read that Truncata is pretty easy plant to grow. I did get these from a German grower.

Nice, I wish international shipping was a bit more reliable for plants. I'd order from wistuba or bestcarnivorousplants for the harder to find flytraps and neps, I envy you for having these nice sites to choose from. ;)
