Some of these plants are seed grown and others are tissue cultured so there may be some variation in characteristics. Like its parents, N. x hookeriana prefers lowland conditions.

I just got it like 10 min ago and is in perfect health and the pitchers are way bigger than expected. Been collecting plants for 7month and without a doubt the quickest shipping ever. Good job guys! **Hugs from Tampa. Florida**
