Love the Species Spotlight series! If you ever take requests, I'd enjoy seeing a spotlight on N. Pervillei. Over the years, I've managed to kill about a 1/2 dozen of those. Thanks!
Can you try with Lowii? It’s a good grower on a cool windowsill in a climate like your’s, people in Europe are able to windowsill them when it isn’t too hot or cold just cool.
Truncata is my favorite pure species and it is hard to resist collecting crosses made from it, I don't have enough room! I think my next purchase will be a vetchii hybrid, after watching many of your videos I think it would be a solid windowsill choice and look great next to my truncata x spectabilis plants.
@@WindowsillNepenthes truncata x spectabilis are going great! I have two extra small ones from predatory plants (titanic savior) that came in the same pot and after a month both had a huge leaf jump despite getting leaf damage from thrips. No problem with pitchering. They are still totally green so I’m wondering when they will get some color. I fed the aging pitchers the betta fish food pellets you recommended and they responded very well to them by making huge leaf and pitcher jumps in size.
truncatas have such awesome variance and new location forms, and the hybrids can be awesome! also the N. Robcantleyi being another neat truncated leafed one (highland) , really want to see a mature hyrbid of rob x truncata :D
I have Nepenthes Truncata Pasian growing in my window sill for about 6 years. It has only on average put out pitchers between 6- 11.5 inches long 2 inches in diameter. I wonder if there's anyway to get it to grow one of those famous 2 liter soda bottle sized ones.
I don't know if Red Pasian produces huge pitchers. Some truncata produce squat pitchers. ;) But there's nothing you can do to make them bigger as your plant is happy (pitchering) and adult. ;)
Sad to hear it's hard for you to get it on that part of the globe. I just got a bunch of Truncata seedlings here in the Philippines for just 1 dollar each.
hello, I wanted to ask you, my nepenthes, in the pitchers, there is never liquid, how can I increase the liquid levels inside the pitchers without adding water?
The fluid can be low but there is always fluid in each new pitcher opening. The only time fluid is gone is during the shipping. But if your humidity is so low that it dries the liquid inside the pitcher, on new leaf you won't have any pitcher. Did you got your plant lately?
@@WindowsillNepenthes they are plants that I have owned for 6-7 months now and the new pitchers have very little liquid if not almost absent, perhaps it is the humidity?

Finally someone made a video on this. I need a spotlight on truncata for so long.
It's really for people looking for the details on the plant, 100% Nepenthes Geek will watch it ;)
lol your username reminds me of Peter D'Amato
The species spotlight series is cool! ;D

N. pervillei is way too lowland for ma windowsill... I don't think I'll be able to do a real spotlight. But maybe other growers will know better :)
Perfect timing I just bought a truncata yesterday 😅
What kind? The lowland one or more on the intermediate-highland side?
@@WindowsillNepenthes it’s the Pasian highland variety
now in the phillippines summer super hot...

I tried but my lack of humidity during winter (45%) was a problem. 🫤
I like your Species Spotlight format. Maybe next time to Robcantleyi? Good Video! I mean it always is.🙂
Sure, it's just that mine is still small ;)
@@WindowsillNepenthes Mine too. My Robcantleyi is as big as my Thumb.

Oh yes, veitchii is great on a windowsill. That's the next species spotlight by the way ;) How is truncata x spectabilis? I just got one!

Me, I'm still looking for lowii x truncata... one day it will be mine! lol
@@WindowsillNepenthes oh that would be a very impressive cross indeed 😮 !! If I see one , I'll let you know 😁👍.
Your channel encouraged me to get a nepenthes hamata and I’m probably going to get truncata next do you have nepenthes hamata on windowsill
Hamata didn't worked for me but I know it's possible. Check my interview with Ron: th-cam.com/video/HShab00QmLs/w-d-xo.html
@@WindowsillNepenthes I hope mine grows it’s in a grow tent
I just got my first truncata :) Mine's a (D) x (JB) from carnivero. It's from seed and i grow it in a highland tent so I hope it does ok lol
It should be great, but if it's small give it some time, truncata a slow when small. ;)
@@WindowsillNepenthes ok good to know! Hopefully it's not too chilly at night for it. It get's down to 11-12C at night

red spotting on ur truncata: truncata and hybrids are very susceptible to odema. which is caused by over watering.
Thanks for the info
My biggest question is how you manage mold growth on your windows/sil?
I have good airflow on the windowsill, so no mold for me. ;)
Do you have a Jamban that you grow on your windowsill?
I'm thinking of getting one for carnivero but im not sure how it does in the house.
I don't have it but I think House.Neps on Instagram have it.
@@WindowsillNepenthes I just bought it so we will see how it all goes
hey, whats the other very large pitcher to the right of the truncata?
It's N. (spathulata x spectabilis) BE-3314 ;)
@@WindowsillNepenthes you sould make a vid about it it's great!
Im looking for a Truncata but sadly there’s only two sellers in Canada brads/tails :(
Yes it's hard to find as a pure species... :(

@@davidrusso3574 what is your humidity?
@@WindowsillNepenthes 32%
@@davidrusso3574 ok so I'm even surprised you get any pitcher at all... Try to increase the humidity to 45-50% ;)
Super vidéo merci votre truncata est un clone particulier ? Car je lis beaucoup qu’il ne tiens pas aussi bien que le votre
Non, c'est juste une truncata classique. ;) Mais la plante a 5 ans, et mon humidité est de 50-60%
