N. ventricosa enjoyer
Hello everyone, name's Erick! I recently joined the forums, but I've been growing Nepenthes since 2021, during my last year in college. (Graduated with a degree in Bio Sci!)
I would consider myself with moderate experience, though I have lost a few plants in the past, but I will always appreciate more advice from other growers (I know my current setup looks a bit strange). I'm currently living in the Los Angeles area.
My favorite species is Nepenthes ventricosa, of which the majority of my collection consists of several forms. I just like how their pitchers look, the variety of forms available on the market, and the fact that they are usually on the inexpensive side (though the porcelain forms are an exception).
I look foward to meeting you all!

:welcome: I enjoy ventricosa as well! I just saw your grow list, that is indeed lots of ventricosa :) I have a handful of ventricosa hybrids, I think they're just as cool. :)
 
That is true! That's another reason why I like ventricosa, they can make some nice hybrids (vent x lowii, vent x ephippiata , Bill Bailey, etc) that are easy to grow.
