Nepenthes Ventricosa (Tropical Pitcher Plant)
Nepenthes Ventricosa (Tropical Pitcher Plant)
One of the most forgiving and widely grown species in the genus, Nepenthes ventricosa is perfect for both beginners and seasoned collectors. Native to the highlands of the Philippines, it produces elegant, vase-shaped pitchers with flared peristomes and smooth, waxy textures. Its name “ventricosa” refers to the characteristically swollen belly of its pitchers.
Country of Origin: Unknown
Temperature: 20°C - 30°C (tropical species), cooler nights (15–20°C) beneficial
Care: Moderate to Difficult
Light: Bright indirect sunlight, avoid harsh direct sun
Humidity: Very high humidity (60%–90%)
Each transparent carnivorous cup (5 cm diameter x 7 cm height) contains a juvenile carnivorous plant freshly transitioned from tissue culture.
Inside, you'll find a young carnivorous plant planted securely in special growing media soil that replicates their natural habitat.
This carefully balanced environment maintains optimal humidity, aiding the delicate plants during their crucial hardening-off stage.
Perfect for both novice growers and experienced collectors, these cups provide a simple and effective way to cultivate and enjoy captivating insect-eating plants.
A tissue culture vessel is a sterile, transparent container (5 cm diameter x 7 cm height) that holds multiple young plants (typically 3 or more) grown under laboratory conditions.
These vessels provide a carefully controlled environment, keeping the plants healthy and contaminant-free until they're ready to transition to standard growing conditions.
Quick Hardening Steps:
- Open Lid Gradually: Slightly open the cup to slowly reduce humidity.
- Maintain Humidity: Gradually decrease humidity over 2–4 weeks.
- Indirect Light: Start with gentle, indirect lighting.
- Moist Soil: Keep media damp, never wet.
- Monitor Closely: Slowly increase airflow and light exposure.
