[glow=red,2,300][/glow]I dont think they will do well with Highland Nepenthes, U.Sandersonii comes from a year round warm subtropical climate. They grow extremely fast when kept warm. A lowland tank would be better. The leaves are small barely 2mm and dont get very big. But if given the chance it will cover the surface of the pot sorry the pictures are a little blurry

No. U.Bisquamata is far more widespread, and occurs from sea level up to about 1200m altitude in SA, so these could do well in a highland tank. Just be carefull of U.Bisquamata, it self seeds and could become a weed pest in your whole collection. This might sound cool now, but after a while you will hate to see it popping up in almost every pot. U.Bisquamata "Betty's Bay" however, does not self seed, so will not become invasive.

One other thing, U.Bisquamata often produces Cleistogamous flowers, which is a flower that does not open, but still produces lots of seed.

There is no way to "watch out" for U. bisquamata seeds. They just happen and plants will eventually show up everywhere.

I just harvested some seeds last night which I think are U. bisquamata(I left the seeds in their pods). If you want some I will send some to you (free of charge, assuming of course you are in the US). PM me your address and info.
BTW, I know we are not allowed to sell stuff here, can I give away free seeds?
Either way, you will likely end up with some and they will spread like really cool looking weeds.
