Nepenthes ventricosa Not Pitchering? Increase Light and Pot Size

Nepenthes ventricosa Not Pitchering? Increase Light and Pot Size

Bright green, large leaves + no pitchers = too little light. In NC, humidity is fine indoors.

Fixes

• More light: few hours direct sun + bright indirect rest of day.
• Repot into larger pot—small pots dry too fast, reducing humidity.
• Move outdoors in late spring (dappled shade) for explosion of pitchers.

Our nursery ventricosa pitchers prolifically outdoors in spring.
