Tom,
I guess that's were my thoughts on Nepenthes had been headed, thanks
the clarification. What are 'very good results' when speaking of N.
rajah and N.lowii? I've seen a number of these plants in cultivation
but was left a little disappointed, the plants had only a few or some
leaves, between 3-5 leaves at the end of a woody stem, maybe a
pitcher but often not. Are these good results for these species?
Perhaps my point of view is a little off. Most of the Nep's I have
are low and semi-highland and they often have alot of leaves on
them. Do the really highland plants simply tend to have only a
few leaves at any given time?
Does it take these plants that long to grow in the wild? It doesn't
seem possible that they could ever hope to compete (and win) with
such slow growth. And you mention that they grow at those rates
only from tissue culture.
Basically I want to know if these much sought after high-land plants
*are* infact worth growing.
