Thank you for your comment Siggy ( i love your film! Despite i don't speak a single word in german.... ) In winter is better to keep it barely damp like filiformis or wet?

What a wonderful plant!

Despite theyr age they are gigantic!!! Bravo Andrea!

Hi Nigel, i tried with drag and drop an image here below and it worked.

hi guys and thank you both for the replies! yes the plant is in dormancy now, i was worried for the very hot summer but the plant seem to be very strong.

My vft's and sarras are going dormant too, despite hot (and not usually) temperature for the end of september, sunday 23 above 30 degrees. But now are getting cooler and typical temperature for the time of the year.

Now it's faster for me too, thank you Richard for everything you did!

Hi Eric, for red spider mites you have to use a specific product, normal insecticide usually doesn't work for them.

Hi guys, i got this plant since may of this year. Was very little as it arrived, but after some good feeding it started to grow well, reaching about 3 cm in length of the leaves. Now it's shrinking, i know this plant has a short vegetative period, so the cause could be the plant is going into dormancy despite the hot temperature? I live in north Italy and winter can be cold, usually -4 C, or never go below 0, are these temperature enough cold? Does anyone knows if leaf cutting work? Thank you all!

No, it'a a hybrid between purpurea and leucophylla. Probably a x mitchelliana like Alexis wrote.

Hi Valerio, that plant is wonderful! Complimenti!

Paolo sono meravigliose!!

Sempre piu' grandi!! Complimenti!!

I've noticed it too.

Hi, a thrips attack almost bleach the pitchers, usually aphids puncture do this kind of damage, provado should take care of these "lovely" critters.
