The one and only Nepenthes hamata in my collection has been growing for a little over a year now, and I've photographed it many times along the way (it is just too cool not to 
). So, I decided to put together a progression over the year since getting it. Following the advice of the seller, I kept the tiny pitchers filled to the brim with MaxSea at 1/2 tsp per gallon (essentially filling once per week). I've never done this before, but the growth came along pretty well, so I kept up with it. I cannot say that not doing it would yield any different results though. The plant is alive and healthy, so I'm pleased. It graduated to Osmocote pellets a couple months ago.
I received the plant around the beginning of December 2015, and this is the earliest photo I have of it towards the end of December. It is still in the same 2 inch pot.
