Dave's Nepenthes 'Miranda' (rooted cutting from Home Depot) in 8" pot, half-full of soil, thriving in south window. Asks if he can top it off and how far.
Jeff Dallas: Definitely add media to within 1" of top. Don't fill completely—makes watering harder. Extra soil encourages higher root development and sometimes activates dormant nodes for new shoots.
Good Growing!
