I transplanted it into an aquarium with more appropriate neighbors. Gave it even more light. It liked that. Said "the heck with it" and moved everything outside. Oops! I burned a few of the leaves while it was in a hanging basket I had again retransplanted it into. I mean the leaves were scorched in one day. Three days of that and
.
Then, as it got cooler again, and finally "cold" (for Florida), I transplanted it about two more times as I figured out that hanging baskets were too big and inefficient for my new regime (covered grow racks along the fence in the sun).
Now, after all that, it's growing better than ever. So much for "Leave them alone." I would if I could. I use the scoop, pray, and try to get the whole root system method of transplanting. It's an art.
From now on, I'm using the smallest containers I can get away with. I guess that's obvious to some people... Doh!
Anyway, now I'm buying a lot of four and six inch glazed ceramic pots. If your plant grows out of whatever you are growing it in, consider yourself a nepenthes genius. I only have older plants, not ventricosa exactly (hybrids), that vine like crazy. They were at least a couple years old when I bought them.
If it vines too much you can cut it to make more plants.
