Hello!!
My name is Chelsea, and I just picked up my first carnivorous plant at an orchid show a couple of weeks back! I was torn between a pitcher plant and a sundew, and I ended up going with a Nepenthes ventrata. The guy who sold it to me was extremely knowledgeable and very patient, and assured me several times that it's a fairly hardy plant...but I know better than to underestimate my ability to kill even the hardiest of plants, so that's why I'm here.
I already posted several questions in a thread over in the Nepenthes board, but I'm hoping that soon enough I'll be able to answer more questions than I ask!
