Ditto about the slow growth. I've had two plants from tissue
culture and they're very slow to put on new growth compared
to many other Nepenthes. They even had small red pitchers-
I believe they were quite healthy. I've heard comments from
other people about N. madagascariensis being a slow grower.

All of these people obtained it from one tissue culture source.
Maybe the particular clone that is being propagated is slow.

Anyway, I didn't find mine very satisfying to grow so I gave
them away recently.
