FREE: Nepenthes Ventricosa cross, Carnivorous Tropical Pitcher Plant

The listing, Nepenthes Ventricosa cross, Carnivorous Tropical Pitcher Plant has ended.

Perhaps the most popular and easiest Nepenthes to grow, ventricosa makes a perfect beginner plant. Ventricosa are remarkably adaptable to a variety of growing conditions, including sunny windowsills, unheated terrariums and even outdoors in milder climates.

This is either a ventricosa x spathulata, or ventricosa x northiana. I lost the name tags, and they look so similar that its hard to tell. Thats why these are getting listed here for cheap instead of on ebay.

SOIL REQUIREMENTS: Spaghnum moss or peat moss. You can mix this with perlite or orchid bark for a better draining soil. NO FERTILIZER! Nothing with any additives. Make sure what you buy doesnt have miracle grow added. They get all they need from the bugs they eat, and if you try to fertilize the soil it will kill the plant. You may use a very light mixture of an orchid fertilizer sprayed on the leaves.
