Glad it's doing well. Pitchers of about 10cm/4 inches are a reasonable
expectation and pitchers of perhaps 12cm or 5 inches are not out of the
question. Upper pitchers do not change as significantly as some of the other
Neps. In bright sunlight the leaves turn crimson while the pitchers remain
mostly green. Inside strong light will provide some red highlights on the
pitcher lid and wings.
