My first Nep Pitcher!!!

tommyr

Gardening freak!
I bought and saved a Nepenthes from a local garden center this spring and it FINALLY is producing pitchers!!! Can someone ID it, there was no tag on the plant but I suspect ALATA or Ventricosa?

Thanks!

Tom

Sounds like you folks agree, this was a local well know garden center in our area, not Home Depot or Lowes. I was surprised because they normally just carry your normal 'typical' VFTs. This Nep was BONE DRY when I bought it too. It's doing great!

Thanks again!

Hey Tom congrats on the first pitcher! I remember the excitement too! Ventrata is always a great plant, but beware, now that you have the bug this might happen to you:

How many plants do you have there? How do you water all them? That's real nice.
