Hi All,

Excuse me for being very non-botanical here, but I don't know all the 'proper'
words.

Anyway, how long does it take before N. rajah takes on it's adult leaf
form, that is when the tendril parts from the underside of the leaf a
short way in from the tip as opposed to parting company with the leaf
right at the end of the leaf tip like in other species? I have several
small plants and none of them have this form. I think that they must be
rajah because a)all my other plants came correctly labelled and b) they
are in low light at the back of my terrarium, hardly any sun but lots of
humidity, and their tiny pitchers are mottled with red, whereas my other
highland species need very good light, with a fair amount of direct sun
to go even pinkish.

TIA,

Toby
