Patience then..One good thing with this plant is that it seem to be a
fast grower. When I recieved the plant (Oct 1st) it had a 5 cm pitcher
which is still looking good, and now it has grown a nice leaf with a
fast developing pitcher, and the next leaf is already on its way. Only
my N. ampullaria can keep up with its growth.

Thanks,
