The pitchers was larger than the leaves which was a surprise to me. I have 6 other Nepenthes growing for 6 months or so and most of the pitchers are smaller than the leaves. I emailed PP and they told me they grow their plants in bright direct sunlight. I can't move my Nepenthes into the the bright direct sunlight because I live inland and these growers are located near the coast. We are both in the Bay Area but the temp spread can be 30 degrees. I can move my Nepenthes into more sunny areas in the fall through spring but in the Summer I have move it back to a shadier spot so the plants don't roast.
