Wow! N. truncata x (thorelii x Mixta)'s peristome is so beautiful and N. maxima x truncata is so huge. Can you share how you get them to grow so huge?

I do fertilize but more importantly, I do water well. The entire soil media is saturated until excess leaches out nutrients. I also expose plants to as much light as possible. The factors described plus good air circulation altogether makes healthy robust plants. Many of the literature speaks of creating more humidity, I have not found this to be true. My best plants are grown in the windiest regions of my property. But this means that I must water more frequently.
