Native, warm-season annual or short-lived perennial, erect, hairless, tufted C4 grass usually less than 50 cm tall and forming a dense low crown; sometimes short stolons are present. Stems are unbranched and flattened with a knee-like bend near their base. Flowerheads are digitate, usually with 6-9 branches 4-20 cm long. Mostly found along roadsides and in native pastures where groundcover and fertility are relatively low; rarely abundant. Readily colonises bare ground and areas subject to compaction or shallow soils. Native biodiversity. Of little significance for grazing, it has low to moderate quality and low productivity. Tolerant of set stocking and close grazing, it is better suited to sheep than cattle due to the low height of its foliage. Favoured by grazing systems that maintain low groundcover. It has little response to fertiliser inputs.

I took the oldest N. truncta seedling out of the seed tray and put it in this pot. I bagged it and sprayed the bag with distilled water. I suspect it's time to start hardening it off. I don't know if this is the right way to do it. It's used to 100% humidity. Perhaps I'll leave it in this bag one more week then start acclimating it to room temp by making a hole in the bag like every 5 days or so. Advice? It's my first time rasing baby nepenthes.
Soil is 1 part peat 2 parts milled sphagnum 3 parts perlite with top dressing milled sphag and the media the seedling was originally in lifted right out so as to not disturbe the roots.
