Wow. I'm jealous. What's your humidity? Traps should be bigger

Looks fine to me. There is a point where leaf size catches up with trap size and can surpass it. Not to mention he has only had it for a month, and being a bit older of a plant, it would take some more time to fully settle.
Not saying it doesn't look healthy, looks great. Just saying my other neps around that size have bigger traps; hence my question.

My conditions are too new to show much influence on the plant. Humidity 75% day, 80%+ at night. I'm guessing that it had a little less light than I'm giving it now. Maybe in a month it two the new leaves/pitcher size will be different. Some of the Neps I've had for 2-3 months now have smaller leaves and giant pitchers.

I'll be happy if it doesn't miss a beat and continues to pitcher. One is about to open and another is clearly forming. This new leaf will be the true test.

To be honest I'm jealous of yours. Do you mind telling how much you paid?

Not as much as native_R1 just sold his for
I'm jealous of your hamata(and most everyone else's Neps) so we are even. It seems like a long time ago but I bought my first Neps in September.

Awesome, will do. It's definitely a little bigger since I last posted. Lowii is a pretty slow grower though.

The new leaf size is looking good. About 1 new leaf every 5-6 weeks?

Maybe a little faster. One of the pitchers in the December 22nd pictures was actually cut off as it had faded. The leaf that's currently coming in is showing a pretty good leaf jump.
