Growing too fast

I purchased N. St Gaya in June, I received a medium potted Nepenthes with leaves about an inch long with pots about half an inch tall. I pulled it out of the pot placed it in a terrarium and it would not stop growing in four months time the leaves are about 10 inches long and the pots are 3.5 inches tall. It is growing so fast I had to call the nursery to figure out how to stunt the growth. When the description said vigorous growth that may be an understatement given the right conditions it will take over the area. Be careful this plant will grow.

Honestly Stunning

I wasn't really prepared for how beautiful this plant is. It was packed incredibly well and I purchased still to go with it. I unpacked and planted it immediately upon receipt. So far it's already started a new leaf structure/pitcher in the week since I got it. I'll be getting more like these from here very soon.

Great!

Arrived in fantastic condition along with all of the other items in my order, especially considering that USPS lost track of my package and delayed delivery an additional 2 days. I purchased 10 or so items and all were packaged wonderfully. The attached pictures are after about 6 weeks of growth.
