alec ....
This plant now grows as a huge bush at the base of that tree. With well over a hundred large pitchers and after a heavy rain the weight of the plant became too much for the poor Ohia tree. The plant came crashing to the ground stripping the branches of the tree like a telephone pole. It has since begun to climb the tree again.
I've never tried N. veitchii in the yard although I'm sure it would do fine. My property is lava and, even with very heavy rain, holds no water so you have to find a sweet spot that stays damp in which to plant. It takes quite a while for plant to establish in the yard but once it takes hold it outgrows the same plant in the nursery. You have different expectations when you plant in the yard as opposed to growing something in the nursery. The nursery is more about keeping a plant pretty whereas, in the yard, it is often a mess.

The house is surrounded by forest so its kinda hard to say what is front and what is back. The plant flowers all the time with dozens of spikes. Fortunately .... it is female.
