I know N. bicalcarata get quite large - I have planned accordingly for my very young Bicalcarata, but I have also got an N. Ampullaria, but can't seem to find many resources on what size enclosure to plant on getting ready for it.

Current: S, purpurea, leucophylla, psitticina, minor. VFT, N. ampullaria, bicalcarata, mirabilis. Cephalotus. D. capensis, intermedia,

Other than getting long vine, amp does not get very large. Many growers prune the vine to keep it small. Once it fully vines, it seldom produce upper pitchers anyway. I never get upper from my plants so far. They produce basal pitchers on the ground instead.

I got them in 15cm diameter rosette growing form 2 years ago. The largest has grown 3m long vine now. Stem is 1cm thick. Leave span is about 20cm.
