Traps are red and almost cylindrical in the upper half, and long and rounded with sometimes green with red tint, in the lower half. There are no wings along the ant trail. The lid is moderately thick and usually red, but can be green. It is heat tolerant and does well in a window.

It is a good Nepenthes for beginners.

Great Nepenthes Ventrata!

Since this is the first Nepenthes I have gotten, I was worried it would come unhealthy. The plant came perfectly fine, and it already has a pitcher formed. Very pleased with my purchase! Thank you CPN!

Arrived healthy

I love my new Nepenthes. Once they are acclimated to their new environment, I will make a hanging basket for my lanai to control mosquitoes and gnats.

Ventrata med pot

Im very happy with my ventrata. Its my first nepenthes so im glad it was a bit bigger and more established. It even has a small basal coming up

Beautifully Devine

Plants came packaged great no problems there, also delivered quickly. Upon opening the contents and seeing 2 gorgeous Nepenthes I was excited. They came healthy and some had already produced pitchers which were an added bonus. I’ll be buying all my carnivores plants from this wonderful nursery.
