I want to get myself a nice little CP to grow while I'm living back home, just to take care of before I get back out on my own where I can create the veritable rainforest I had before...
I spotted a mature N. ventricosa at a nursery nearby, which surprised me... I understand that they are indeed very simple to rear under conditions that seem extremely 'normal', compared to other neps...
I have to say though, that my house to a nep is probably what hell is to a snowball.
Mostly for the reason that even the sunniest window (my MOTHER'S bedroom) is probably only sufficiently bright for something that has all of it's other requirements met very precisely. My window faces the same direction, and I suppose it MIGHT suffice... I'm not certain as to the humidity... As it is the summer now, I suppose that it's enough for a strong nep, but in the winter, I a) have no idea, and b) am guessing that it will be murderous to my plants. Watering and stuff like that will not prove problematic as this plant will be my baby.
Would any of you strongly advise against cruelty-to-Nepenthes, or is it worth the shot... It's only 17.00 Dollars.
There was also a Judith Finn (i believe...), but I'm not a fan of generic hybrids, such as xVentrata... No offence to them, I just prefer a pure-bread.
