That is definitely Nepenthes truncata. This species is easy to grow, they can tolerate low humidity in the air as long as you keep the media moist but not water logged. Nepenthes like well soil with good drainage, which normally consist of 1 part sphagnum moss and 1 part perlite. DonÂt ever use regular potting soil!

The pitchers of N. truncata are one of the largest once it reaches maturity, they can easily grow as big as a 2 liter Pepsi bottles long. Below are pictures of my plant growing in a 6 inch pot, this is how the plant looks when it has its pitchers developed. My plant is around 6 inches across and is making pitchers over 7 inches. How big is your plant?

Hello johnromano,

Nepenthes truncata also prefer temperatures a bit higher than low 70s. More like high 70s to about 80 degrees and can adapt to lower humidity, but prefer about 70% or so. If you are growing it in a window, it is not really direct sun, but that is ok as the plant requires indirect but still quite bright sun like it would get through a good east or even south facing window. The plant looks fine, it's environment is close to, but not exactly what it likes, but it will survive. They are very adaptable and easy growing plants.

Be careful with all that water around the electrical outlet...

Looking at your pictures more carefully. It may have just recovered from shock and is just barely shooting out new leaves, it has nothing to do with the substrate. Was it delivered through mail after you purchased it?

Truncata is a slow growing plant and in my experience with my plant, it may take up to 2 months for a new pitcher to develop. Usually they prefer filtered sunlight but I donÂt see the leaves are burned by too much sunlight so it looks like itÂs doing just fine. Just give it a little time.

On the other hand, the cracks on the leave seemed to be caused by the plastic cords of the hanging pot. DonÂt move it around too much or you will end up breaking off easily the developing pitchers. Just be patient and keep us posted how your plant is doing.

The largest leave is 13cm across and the plant is about 25cm across.

It does have a grow light above it but not shining directly on it.

Do you think I should repot it with a perlite mixture? Or leave it be?

How much time per day does it get the light?

Is the mixture it's in... did it come in that or did you put it in it?

I'm thinking humidity Might be your problem. Alot of my neps stop pitchering if it drops too far below 50 percent humidity.

I have learned a lot from reading about it! I use peat moss, perlite, sand, and orquid bark on mine! My plant is about a year old [with me], and it is making a lot of pitchers now. It is hanging on a tree in the backyard.

It gets about 12 hours of light per day.

I have repotted it (about 3 months ago) but I kept the original mixture around the roots and placed it in the new pot with spagnum moss.

I am thinking of repotting it with some perlite at the bottom for better drainage.
