Nepenthes ventricosa Basal Shoot Pitchering While Mother Plant Doesn't

Jared's N. ventricosa has a basal plantlet making 3 pitchers, but mother plant (larger) shows no pitcher signs. Why?

Larger Plants Need More Light

Small Nepenthes manage in morning-sun windows. As they exceed ~2 ft, they need greater light intensity/coverage.

Follow-up: Currently 5–6 hrs morning sun (4 in winter). Moving to SW window for more intense light. Jacob: yes, needs more. My N. sanguinea stopped pitchering in similar window. Added 3 twin-mount 40W cool white fluorescents (6 tubes, 3000 lumens each, 16 hrs/day)—never stops pitchering even at 12 hrs winter. May need shop lights above/behind if window still inadequate. Give weeks.

Good growing!
