Hey all, this truncata has been in my care for a little over 3 years in NJ. Comparison pic from when I got it as a barely-not-a-seedling to now. Pretty big leaf jumps!

Anybody with truncata experience want to chime in on the growth rate, or anything else? I wish I had a pencil in the first pic, hard to tell how big it’s gotten :? One pitcher is currently inflating , but taking it’s dang time :D currently working on making a DIY aquarium setup to bump up the humidity :mrgreen:

My growth environment is not suitable for highland plants. Just to share my experience with lowland truncata.

I started lowland truncata from seeds in Aug 2021. Relatively fast growing compared to some other species. The photo with a ruler at the side was taken just 6 months after seed sowing. The seedlings are already large enough to be potted individually at 1 year old.
