N. ventricosa

[jimscott]

After six months of being by a window sill and producing green leaf and trap endlessly, I decided to put the young plant outside. It is now turning bronze - not red or brown - but bronze. Is this the right color?

I have had N. ventricosa turn bronzy. Not an issue, just the ole natural sunblock building up.

my new n. belli leaves are doing the same thing in my terrarium.. i prefer them that color, green gets sooo boring.

My n.ventricosa 'red' was green its first year. As it matured, pictures started to get bronzy and pinkish. It might be a waiting game. Cool thing is that I have a basal shoot now, and its tiny pitchers are red like the mother plant! it has that juvenile looking lid though.
