Hey hey,

 When i first bought them i had no idea what type Nepenthes they were, but after e-mailing the place where they came from they comfirmed that it was a N. ventricosa... So yeah it kinda sucks tho that i have no idea where i can buy more carnivorous plants here in london ontario. But anyway here are some pics i took last night.. Sorry if they are too big..

It looks kinda like my nep which was labelled as a ventricosa 'red' but still not sure. Is the first pic a upper pitcher or an intermediate?
 
yeah i didnt think it was too, and to be honest i really dont know if they are... but i'm going by what the nursery told me unless anyone else tells me otherwise..

i beleave its an intermediate baby pitcher

N.ventrata eh... yeah i saw pics of that type of plant a few month ago.. also thinking that it was that type.... is that a lowland or a highland??
 
ahh thanks, i wish i had a lowlander cause man my plant room can get very hot with all the fans and lights on. BUT I LOVE this plant and would never change it.. however, i'm not going to change much on how i have them growing cause they seem to be growing really really well with the temps i have them in... but its odd how even tho they are not getting cooler nights, that they are growing this fast
 
Ohh.. ventrata. It's ok. I'll just look up information for ventrata then, but I don't think there's much difference between the two. Is there?
 
You dont have to look any info up..
Just keep the soil moist. humidity about 50%.
Good light and temperatures around 25 C (77F)
