To all: I also struggling with albo, I got a few albo that never grow pitchers for about a year now. Reading Nicholas shared growing experience that reminds me of the albo habitat I visited, the one I visited is above 700 m asl, the hill albo grows is dried (red soil like and sandy) and lots of wind and the one in the open bearing redder leafs, the one hidden stays green.
I think the redness of the leaf is due to the sun/ light intensity and that also plus the cool temperature (elevation). As strong light alone at my growing elevation can't bring the same red color, but red spot as the sun burned the leaf is the result, then after adaptation the new leaf will be thicker no more burn marks but never turned red.
Just my two cents ;D

Hi Dave,
Your ability of growing neps very well even on some tough species, you are not any novice, as come to hybrids it is even easier for you.
Some newbie suggestion ;D, I just got from EP some of the new one, and recommendable are the veitchii H/L x eymae (the reversed of the old one), new trunc x xTM, (ventricosa x sibuyanensis) x xTM are some that I see got lots of potential that already shown from when they are still small one.

Michael: Glad to share them, looks like now at Sout East Asia the nepenthes started to get more attention. I will ask Fauzi to do more explanation on what is going on. Ok, I will try to answer some of your question, it didn't say clearly why they planted the neps on the slope, but it is some of the university project on neps. Not so sure about that big plant, but it looks like N. maxima x xTM to me??? Yes, the guy Prof. Dr. Jumaat Adam is a scientist and also head researcher for the Malaysia State University and he is into the neps experiment for two decades now, he is also the founder of 5 new species in Malaysia and he is doing the research on the fluid inside the un-openned pitcher for medical purposes, as said the fluid can be remedy for some sickness from the old tale, so he is trying to proof it scientifically. Hope this answer the questions for now. Ed
