Pelles Carnivorous Plants Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Why is nepenthes truncata so hard to get? All places where they sell them are sold out. Why is this nepenthes so popular and hard to get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manders Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 I guess its one of the more popular species, big pitchers, very easy to grow. Some of the forms i find a bit boring though, all green, there are some really nice colorfull clones around. I got bored of mine a few years ago as it was all green and not so big pitchers so i sold it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bux Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Why is nepenthes truncata so hard to get? Probably because they are sold out fast... I will have some few plants available again in some few weeks. Fabrice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan F. Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 I got a N.Truncata of Matthew Soper about three years ago,but I find it to be hard to grow and slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yada Rada Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 yes it is a very big and beautiful plant, I would like to buy too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. GreenThumb Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Because its awesome, I love Truncata and can't wait until i get my little greasy slimy dirt ridden hands on one, lol. My hands are very clean actually ;-) but i can't wait to get a Truncata, and one day find a fat rat caught in the pitcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuipici Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 I love it for many reasons. One of them, big leathery pitchers, it looks beautiful, it's probably the nepenthes that shows carnivory the best. Some of the growers I know found mice, some even sparrows ( it seems to have a thing for mice...). All in all, it's my favorite Nepenthes of them all, it's a beast!

Petr Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 This plant can be grown even without terrarium just on the windowsill. It is easy plant, but it is hard to make cuttings, because it grows slow and it does not climb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It slows down a bit with smaller pitchers, if any, in the winter with less light; I just keep it on a windowsill. For a mature vine the space between the leaves isn't huge, maybe about 5cm at the most, not much considering how thick the vines get. I recommend getting one with good colouration as people have pointed out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
