Hello everyone!
I'm fairly new to CPs and recently dove into the Nepenthes Genus. From popular consensus, the hybrid I have is N. ventrata. What do you think?
I got this little one from Lowe's a little less than 2 weeks ago. I repotted it in peat, silica sand, and perlite mixture about a week ago. I've sprayed the pitchers during the morning and evening since taking it home, top watered this past week. It is in a SE facing area, but gets dappled light opposed to solid direct sunlight. The airflow isn't too bad in our covered backyard patio area. I add water into the drip tray sometimes, the pot is slightly elevated above the water and I chose this location since I figured both would help with humidity.
I noticed that there's some discoloration on a couple pitchers and I'm going to guess it's a mold of some sort. I have been told to stop spraying since it may cause crownrot or markings on leaves/ pitchers.
Any input would be greatly appreciated. I really hope this guy pulls through!
