hello
i posted some pics of my Home Depot rescue for an ID a month or so ago, and the plant has grown considerably since. i'm in a before-and-after kinda mood,so here goes:
BEFORE: if i recall correctly, it was a tossup between an N. ventricosa or an N. x 'ventrata'
AFTER: well, you tell me! to me it's looking more and more like a ventricosa, but i'm not 100% sure.
the largest pitcher, at about 1 3/4"
just thought this turned out a nice pic...
soo... what do we think, does it like me? i do have a few questions though... most importantly, why does my nep look like a bush and everyone elses' seem to be nice and compact, with everything coming from one growth point? there are at LEAST five growth points going on here, though it is a TC plant so i wonder if that's why. also, repotting. do i need to repot this guy anytime soon? how big/what kind should the next size be? i have no place to put a hanging pot, and i needs to be able to handle an 8-hour trip in a cramped car at the end of august. some soil "recipes" would be helpful too if i do need to repot it thanx again!
