Nepenthes ID request

16 years ago

Hello forum members! I have had this Nepenthes for maybe a year and a half now and would like help identifying the species or narrowing it down. It's a great plant that always looks good and has been very easy to take care of. I remember intentionally buying one for ease of growing so imagine this must be a pretty common species. Thank you in advance to contributing to this thread.

Here is a link that might be useful: {{gwi:556469}}

Hi euphony,

If I had to put forth my educated guess, then I'd say yours is the hybrid Ventrata.

I lean towards that because of the hints of green in the lower part of the pitchers, and also because Ventrata is definitively one of the more common varieties of Nepenthes and they are easy to grow.

Hope it helps!

yeah, euphony I have one just like it and sam is right it is a ventrata, it's a pretty good beginners plant, though it is a little boring in shape, size, and color. Mine started growing like crazy for a time but it just stopped, and all of the pitchers on it were only a bout two-three inches long, so I'm going to try one of the fertilizers RainforestGuy suggested.
