Like most growers, I have not let many of my Nepenthes grow too long in the
upper (long-internode) growth phase.
Nepenthes is a vine. What is its twining habit? Does the stem itself
entwine, or does it rely largely on the "tendril action" of the "tendril"
portion on the leaf, between leaf blade and pitcher. (is this properly
called a tendril?). Do the leaves on the upper growth generally stay
two-ranked (distichous)?
