The N. lowii pitcher has now matured ,and getting great inside colour from the sun and with misting comes the exudate , this pitcher is producing very large amounts of the exudate . the pitcher is as large as the many I have seen in the wild so very happy about that too.

Also, what in you opinion would be the best medium for my small lowii.
Thanks
