Subject: Nepenthes truncata

A wonderful man, Andrew Marshall (a member of this newsgroup) just sent me an established plant of Nepenthes truncata.
(LOL, and now I know how such a big plant got it's name, too *wink*)

I'd love to hear opinions on how to grow it. Andrew warns me that this
plant REALLY objects to being pruned, and doesn't much care for being
repotted. Well, I have several Orchids that are set back by repotting,
so I know how to build a mix that doesn't loose it's porousity, and just
needs occational added organics. Anything else?

I live in the Desert Southwest. Many of my Nepenthes tolerate the low
humidity in my greenhouse just fine, once they've adapted to it. (their
leaves thicken considerably, as do the pitcher walls) Will this plant
tolerate summer realitive humidity near 30% in the daytime? Anybody
ever try?

Thanks in advance.
Steve
