I was spraying my plants down tonight and saw it! I thought at first it was a really tall pitcher until I looked closer. I have to show some pics. I must be doing something right with it The whole plant in a 10" pot A closer up of the stalk

I grow it in my 'Dry Nep' mix, approx 3 bark, 2 charcol, 1 perlite, 1 chopped lfs, 1 peat. The only watering it gets is from above and even then it's only the over flow from the pitchers, but the soil stays damp at least. Every now and then, I fill the pitchers with 1/4 strength orchid fertalizer, I normally use it as a foliar spray for most plants.

Just a pic update taken 2 days ago. The stalk is tall enough to go through the upper level of screening with a little bit of directing.
