Hi Meryl,

That mix for the N.amp seems like it should have a similar
airation to what I'm using for all my lowland Neps. I recently
received N.amp, it now has two pitchers on it. Would have had
a third but I transplanted it to a better illuminated spot. I
suppose it will be about a year before I see and basal rosettes?
What sort of N.veitchii are you growing? The lowland type is
supposed to be fairly plain in it's coloration compared to the
highland type. Still has a beautifully shaped pitcher though.
