Wholesale Nepenthes Lowii x Ventricosa

Nepenthes lowii × ventricosa is a stunning tropical pitcher plant hybrid known for its chunky foliage, dramatic flared pitchers, and rich red-to-burgundy coloration in bright conditions. This cross combines the unusual, sculptural look of Nepenthes lowii with the vigor and adaptability of Nepenthes ventricosa, making it an excellent choice for carnivorous-plant collectors ready to move beyond the basics. Each leaf produces a tendril that can develop into a hanging pitcher trap. These pitchers help the plant capture small insects for nutrients—no soil fertilizer needed. As it matures, expect larger, more character-filled pitchers with bold coloring and a distinctive wide opening. Care • Light: Bright indirect light; gentle morning sun is welcome • Water: Distilled, reverse-osmosis, or rain water only • Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity, ideally 60%+ • Temperature: Intermediate to highland conditions; appreciates cooler nights • Soil: Airy, low-nutrient carnivorous plant mix; keep lightly moist, never waterlogged • Feeding: An occasional small insect in an open pitcher is plenty Plant note: Pitcher plants may pause pitcher production or lose pitchers while adjusting to a new environment, especially after shipping. New growth should resume once the plant acclimates to stable light, humidity, and purified water.
