Question
Hello, I am going to order one of the Nepentes Truncatas, and was wondering if pitchers that large can still be grown in a hanging pot, or they need to be able to sit on a solid surface?

Answer
Hi John,

Nepenthes truncata does fine in a hanging pot.  The pitchers and tendrils are incredibly tough and fiberous.  It is quite difficult to even cut off a dead one.  We have two big ones in hanging pots that look spectacular in the summer.


Good Growing!
