lisham, i'm not sure about your growing conditions, but if your N. raff is established (i.e. not acclimatizing itself), it could be because of humidity or insufficient light. i would try and shift it to a brighter spot and see if it pitchers.

lisham, I grow my new plant from MT under lights, very close to the tube for 12hours. It pitchers on every leaf very nicely. Not sure if I am right in my observation but N. rafflesiana as a species prefer constant or gradual increase of lighting i.e. 12 hours of bright light beats 6 hours of shade and 6 hours of very bright/direct sunlight. All my rafflesiana do very well in a particular end of my balcony where it is very bright without direct sunlight. The other end which receives direct sunlight, my raffs do not seem to pitcher on every leaf.  |

Ok... Thanks for the tip.
I will try to increase the light.
Last time I used to have 2 pots of n. raff. One is my friends', 1 belong to me. My friends' one put out pitcher nicely... Now putting nice nice pitchers. Mine one got problem since that time... They were placed side by side, water at the same time, planted in the same potting mix...
