Nepenthes x Lady Luck, is a robust growing carnivorous tropical pitcher plant. The pitchers are typically a deep blood red color all over. Pitchers form easily even in low light and are long lasting. The nodes (length of stem between leaves) are short, and It commonly produces numerous basal offshoots, giving it a dense growing appearance. It has a very wide temperature tolerance and does well in a window. The roots will grow entirely submerged in water. It is quite good at catching many insects, such as: stink bugs, wasps and yellow jackets.  It is a fast grower. It is a great house plant, that can be grown outdoors in the warm weather. It is suitable for beginners.

This clone N. ampullaria x ventricosa, was developed by Borneo Exotics, and is sometimes called the "Bloody Mary" Nepenthes. It is an Intermediate hybrid.

Nepenthes Lady Luck

The Nepenthes Lady Luck came carefully packaged and arrived quickly. It had some dark spots. I will lose one pitcher and one leaf, but after just a couple weeks it already has new leaves and a couple new pitchers. Happy plant and it's needing a bigger home. Very happy with my purchase!

Good staff and very friendly and was able to make an even trade for shipping even though I picked up and would definitely be ordering from there

Love this plant. :)

I was skeptical about Nepenthes, mostly because I have the black thumb of Death when it comes to growing plants. However, this Lady Luck Nepenthes is one of my favorite terrarium plants. It was small when it arrived, but it has doubled in size and went from 1 to 4+ pitchers in a few months. I decided to read all the material and follow the instructions on the Carnivorous Plant Nursery website and they have proven quite effective. This plant lives in my terrarium in the following conditions: RH = 85%, LED Light schedule = 14hrs/day, and is watered using Reverse Osmosis water. I keep the soil moist and just started to feed the pitchers rehydrated bloodworms maybe every 2-3 weeks. I would highly recommend this plant. It's fun and grows well for a newly carnivorous plant hobbyist like myself.

Best Starter

Bloody Mary is a great hardy and beautiful beginner Nepenthes. The best trait is it produces many basal shoots and the Nepenthes looks much more filled out.
