@dave: thanks for the reply, I did read from the other forum as well, but after I posted here, anyway seems like no harm if I try in few of my yellowing 'leaf' plants (like you said) Ed

Thanks for the information on your finding with coffee, but can you please let us know more detail for which type of coffee you are using, instant, grounded? with sugar or plain coffee, how much used per plant?
Any side effects shown so far from your usage on this coffee? Scientifically will it be of the caffeine content of this coffee that help boost the plant or other substances inside the coffee, as you were mentioning stale coffee, that means the coffee is even more sour if keep stale. Correct me if I am wrong here.
Thanks, Ed

Michael, thanks for the information on truncata, I have re-potted this only once, and the mixes used for truncata is coco chip, pumice, charcoal and some spaghnum moss. Looks like the place I grow it is already suitable, getting lots of morning sun and only bright light on the afternoon.

Just sharing my truncata, one of my very first nepenthes when I started in August 2006. A few days after I got the trunc in November 2006: A year later in December 2007: Recent picture August 1, 2008: I will post more picture of the whole plant and recently opened pitcher. Is my truncata growth count as slow or normal? Ed

Michael: mine is from MT, I do believe is a TC plant, as this particular species is quite hard to get in the market. Anyway, will do my best to keep it growing and thriving. Ed

Thought of sharing, mine is not from seedling, got a juvenille plant, but I grow it in my lowland condition, to my surprised this species adapted pretty fast and only in a month this one already made it first pitcher. Is this supposed to be highlander or intermediate grower? Ed

@francois, yes they are mirabilis, viking and rowanae Michael, thanks for pointing out, will do that on one of the plant, will search for coral chips or lime stone over this weekend. (Just noticed on your post in basic media ;D, showing the coral chips - no need picture anymore, thanks) I will update on the result. Ed

Michael: the wide peristome tobaica I also suspect it as a hybrid, but strangely no other species found around this area, all are only tobaica. The leafs still very tobaica, and only found like two or three plants of this wide peristome variation of the whole area, the plants found still a junior and grown on the ground. You are right on the soil, soil are hard and dry but the spec still can grow there. That's nature we never can copy, other factors like the temperature, humidity and sunlight there help balancing to overcome the bad soil/ substrate they grown on. Not sure how low they will adapt, remember my trip where I found the spectabilis, rigidifolia and pectinata, that was even of higher elevation something more than 1500m asl. Too bad no seeds found, that is the only plant there. @francois: Thanks, hope I can find time soon to visit the area. @sam: Thanks and as you mentioned it I just realized, comparing with other seeds pods, this particular one is longer and bigger, no it is not perspective, they are indeed big and long particularly on this spike. A cross pollination? but no other species found on the surrounding area, all only tobaica. I will go back there to get some seeds when they ripen, probably in a few more months. Ed
