Product Information
Nepenthes ventrata, commonly known as the Nepenthes ventrata Pitcher Plant, is a popular carnivorous plant that is a hybrid between Nepenthes ventricosa and Nepenthes alata. It is known for its striking pitchers, which are modified leaves that act as traps to capture and digest insects.
The pitchers of Nepenthes ventrata are typically green with red or purple stripes, and they can vary in size from a few inches to over a foot long, depending on the age and growing conditions of the plant. The pitchers are filled with a digestive fluid that breaks down the insects caught inside, providing the plant with nutrients that are otherwise scarce in its environment
