This pervillei has grown a lot since I got it 2 years ago.



Two years back,


The only problem is that it seldom produces larger pitcher. This is the best so far,

Definitely wants a more airy mix. This species is reported to grow mostly in granite mixes in habitat; it certainly requires different treatment than all other Nepenthes.

I have been wanting to get one of these.

Looks great. I'll have to keep this in mind

Here's the growing guide that I made for this species. What I use for a mix is 35% granite, 15% lava rock, 5% Seramis, 5% leca clay, 15% quartz sand, 10% perlite, 15% NZ long-fiber sphagnum. Since I got it in mid-June, the plant has leaves that are 2x as big and pitchers that are 2x as big.

Right now, I'm waiting on a second plant which will be planted in almost pure akadama. I'll let you know how they compare once I've had both for a while.

Looks amazing! I have a baby one and read they're pretty hard to grow. Gonna check out your guide
