Highland & Lowland Nepenthes Together: N. truncata Is Intermediate

Accidental lowland N. truncata with highlanders (ventricosa, maxima, kona)? No problem.

Why It Works

N. truncata is truly intermediate—both forms grow well in either regime.
Naturally slow (1 leaf/2.5 months = normal).
Our lowland truncatas in highland greenhouse still make massive summer pitchers.

5600 lumens, 75°/68° — fine for all. Healthy truncata = just slow.
