The "Hiroshima" clone is from Y's exotics imported from Japan by Carnivero
Seems to be hardy, takes the Carolina summer heat well and grows in the window in the winter.

I put one bettamin pellet in the largest pitcher after a month and each new pitcher over the winter.

That's great news optique! We have just finished moving to Cordoba, it's bloody hot here. I've been wanting a Truncata for a long time now, once we finished settling in, I want to get one. How dos it handle winter temps?

It seems to grow just fine in a large west facing widow. I am sure it would grow better in perfect conditions in a grow tent or green house but it seems to grow and do fine open air in my backyard and window.

I second that! I have a truncata from carnivero and it has thrown out some humongous leafs since I got it. I just put the thing outside and it loves it.

@optique, It's looking very good, as good as some I've seen growing in greenhouses. Nice job!
@Camden M, I love the foilage of Truncata!

I just picked up a seed-grown horticultural truncata from PP. It came in with a dead center so they replaced it. Here is a photo of both.

Nice! I thought about getting one of those.

Believe it or not, I didn’t have any truncata in my collection. Until this thread. Now I will have

Nepenthes truncata (JB x (c)-A), CAR-0206
Nepenthes truncata, Hiroshima

Thanks to Optique for posting photos. I like the look of the plants

Ooooh, keep us updated on the JB x (c)-A. I really wanted to get that a while back, hopefully we’ll see that I made a bad decision by not lol.

Yeah, I did too

looks like the damaged truncata is putting back out from the side.

That's good! And now you have two healthy plants

starting to color up

So would you guys say that the hiroshima and (JB x (c)-A) grow well in solid intermediate conditions (about 64-66 at night)? I might take advantage of the sale at Carnivero

I mean yeah, mine is crossed with BE's passion red clone and it does just fine with temps well into 100's. I feel like truncata in general is really hardy.
