What conditions do you grow your N. mollis in?

Typical highlight conditions. It is an EXTREMELY slow species (I’m going to say, at this size, it produces a new pitcher and a new leaf once every few months).

Ok, good to know. I have a lowii hybrid and Heliamphora that are pretty much that slow as well. I guess, the helis are a little faster than the lowii hybrid.

I grow many helis and even they outpace my mollis . Lowii (slowii) is probably an equally sluggish species though…

We are right at halfway through our photo contest this month. There are some terrific photos of pitchers, but sarracenia is greatly underrepresented. Why is that? Any way, here are the standings:
hollyhock 14
Shadowtski 12
Sundews69 12
slicric78 10
Nocturne 9
Panman 9

There is still plenty of time to submit a new photo of your pipes of perdition. And if you haven't yet, take a look at the photos and vote for your favorite!

wow, that is a cool purp. Is it a hybrid? How does it grow compared to other purps (faster, slower)?

It's not a hybrid, I think it's just a really nice one that popped out of a commercial propagation. And I can't really comment on the speed. Mine is growing pretty fast but I've been super active with giving it maxsea.

Here’s one of my pitcher plants. It finally started growing up instead of down. I hope I didn’t put to much sphagnum on top.

For some reason I have no “like” or “dislike” buttons (using Tapatalk…?) but I vote for this one.
