I have had a N. Jamban for a few months now, just looking for tips for it to grow more pitchers. It is pretty large. The plant overall is 1 ft long. Its receiving 70 degree weather constantly. Humidity is at 80%. Hit me up with any tips. Thanks.

Constant temps won't work. Do some research on highland care. Both are highlanders and need cool nights.

If the plant is having difficulty producing pitchers, it's likely either not receiving enough light, or it's one of those species that needs to wrap the tendrils around something to produce upper pitchers (I don't think this species is but I'm not sure.)

From what I understand N. jamban is a pretty tolerant species and N. dubia is more picky. It would be best to have a good temperature drop at night for both, but N. dubia will need it more.

You need to get those temps down. Assuming all other growth requirement are met (light, media, watering) then you should see great improvement. Try to get them at least down to 60f, but 50-55 is ideal. Jamban is a more tolerant intermediate/highlander but dubia is a highlander/ ultrahighlander and need cool temps to do well in the long run.

Good luck!

70-80 during day, 50-60 at night. And the high is 80 max. It usually is around 72 to 69 in there. But it drops to like 55 at night and stays pretty cold. I will buy some extra lamps to put more light in there for them.

Those conditions do sound good. How much light are the plants getting right now?
