Nepenthes × ventrata is a stunning tropical pitcher plant that’s perfect for anyone looking to add a touch of the exotic to their home. This easy-care carnivorous plant is a natural hybrid of Nepenthes alata and Nepenthes ventricosa—both highland species—known for their hardiness and beautiful form.
With its elegant, tubular pitchers in vivid green and deep red tones, it’s not only fascinating to look at but also a natural way to manage small insects indoors. Supplied in a practical 14 cm hanging basket, it’s ideal for displaying in kitchens, bathrooms, or bright living spaces where it can trail and climb as it grows.
Despite its highland background, Nepenthes × ventrata is remarkably adaptable and thrives in typical home environments. It enjoys bright, indirect light, consistently moist (but not waterlogged) soil, and a bit of extra humidity—like from a bathroom or regular misting. The plant’s climbing and trailing habit produces a steady flow of colourful pitchers, bringing year-round interest and a sense of the tropics indoors.
Whether you’re new to carnivorous plants or already hooked, this variety is a reliable, low-fuss choice that’s both beautiful and rewarding to grow.
