I've had this plant for a couple years now. it seems to be a VERY slow grower, and is still quite small, but I'm wandering just how big this plant will get?
Any of you have a N. Jacqs thats all all growed up?

N. jaquelineae are highlanders, ranged between 1700 - 2200 m high and are supposed to be quite fast growing for highlanders. They grow quite happily outside but there are myths and sayings that some clones are more vigorous growers than others. That might be your problem with the slow growing.

They are great plants for inside or outside, even though I grow mine outside :)

What do you mean with the size? Pitchers? Vines?

N. jacquelineae grown by Jeremiah Harris:

As you can see, the plant itself is a fairly large viner, but the pitchers usually stay around the 4'' mark. I have heard that different clones are more vigorous than others, and it's not the slowest highlander ever (so a leaf every 2 months instead of every 3 or 4). It needs the nightly drop below 60F to grow at the fastest rate possible.

I've had some issues with mine as well, it pitchers well for me but it oscillates between larger and smaller leaves. Giving it a bit of a palm tree effect. That being said there does seem to be some difference between populations. Perhaps can we get some full plant pics of full grown ones and which vendor they are from?

After I posted I went back to some pics, from when I 1st got this plant. and now. The 1st pic is from Nov 2013.... then and now
I'm actually very happy with the size of the plant, as many of mine are growing quite huge now. and love the new lil pitchers. I was just wandering what to expect it to grow to

Looks pretty good to me, BE-3093? Maybe try throwing some osmocote into those pitchers?

thank you and yes thats correct. Ive been giving Osmocote pellets for about a year now. I think there was some confusion with this thread, perhaps its my fault for not being clear. I am very happy with the plant and its size. I think it is very healthy and doing great. As much as I appreciate it, I wasn't asking for help or diagnosis

my question was simply what its will look like fully grown. The links you posted in your earlier post really helped.
