Per [[Pearl River Exotics]], this plant originated from [[Leilani Hapu'u Nepenthes Nursery]]. I bought it as a No ID cutting, then a second time labeled as a Poi Dog. The pitchers and leaves of the two plants are identical, so I believe it is the same clone.

I discarded the plant. The plant had been yellowing (too much light?), and I let it dry out too much, after which it never fully recovered.

### Plant 2
##### 2025-09-09
Purchased on 2025-09-09 as a rooted No ID cutting from [[Pearl River Exotics]] for $15, order # 9379.
##### 2025-09-17
Package arrived. Added to the [[Nepenthes in aeroponics|aeroponics experiment]].
##### 2026-10-05
One year, one month after adding to the [[Nepenthes in aeroponics|aeroponics experiment]]. Lots more growth than the other cutting planted in sphagnum. No pitchers at the moment, likely due to insufficient light (it made 4 earlier in the spring). Today I potted it up into a 5" square pot using [[3to2 PerliteToBufferedCocoPeat|3:2 perlite: buffered coco peat]]. Hopefully it survives the transition.

The roots completely filled the 2" basket cup holding it in the aeroponics bucket. First they formed into a dense mat inside the cup, and then eventually longer roots grew and trailed outside the cup.
