Wooah, it's been over a month haha, perfect time to post some updates on them!

Here's my N. Attenboroughii. I trimmed the sphagnum and it looks more aesthetically pleasing! Some of the sphagnum is beginning to turn a wine red as well. Anywho, within the last month, it finished developing that new pitcher it had last month and also made another. On top of having two new pitchers, it's actually forming another one as well and put out a new leaf. It's finally picking up for me. Leaves are staying compact and should begin getting larger within the next few months.

Almost forgot my two N. Palawanensis! First off is my Palawanensis "tall". So far it has developed 3 new pitchers and is keeping its red shade in its leaves. All of the pitchers it had since i got it withered away already and Im planning to trim this one soon. As far as development goes, pitchers are staying tall and slender.








And now for the next one - my Palawanensis "squat". If you check out the older post on it, it had a damaged growth point but managed to grow a new one. That growth point grew out to a leaf but without a pitcher. The succeeding leaves came out much bigger and with hairs on the edges of the leaves. So far it had only two. All the older pitchers are gone except for one. It hasnt finished developing a new pitcher just yet, but from the looks of it, they are going to be hairy and squat. On another note, the color of this one stayed on the green side. No signs of developing any other coloration. Comparing it to the other one, they both put out 3 new leaves, but Palawan "tall" develops pitchers much faster.

I still have attens to post just haven't been able to yet.

Hahaha it's been over a year since I kept up with this.

A lot has happened since then. Guess this could show growth in a year for these guys.

First off is my Attenboroughii. It was actually one of the plants that I almost lost during my move way back when. Growth tip died and it just had two leaves left. I kept it and just had it in my normal nepenthes conditions. Eventually it grew a basal and now this is what it looks like. Pretty much restarted with this one.



Here it is in a 3 in pot







All is well though! I Actually have two more now. Here's the smaller one with my initial Attenboroughii.








And the larger one that I really like in a 3.5 in pot






It also has teeth!!








On to my Palawanensis...

I mentioned that I had two forms. One was red and tall and the other green and squat.

The tall one developed a rich dark red color, growth stayed compact, and pitchers stayed small. It's also a slower grower compared to the other one.

In a 3.5 in pot





Gracile pitchers






The squat Palawanensis developed brownish/ greenish colors, had vigorous growth, and pitchers stayed squat and bulbous. It quickly outgrew the other.

3.5 in pot






A nice leaf jump





Some squat pitchers








Here's the two side by side





That'll be it for now. Hope you guys liked this mini update. Let me know what you guys think or any feedback at all! Probably won't post on this for another month or so. They are slow growers after all
