Thanks so much! I’m sooo excited. Thought it wouldn’t pitcher again lol!

how long has it been?

That's pretty cool. How long does it take for a N. Ventricosa pitcher to develop?

Sorry to confuse you, it’s ventrata but as I typed it I accidentally autocorrected it to ventricosa. It took this about a week to grow this big!

Since I got it in January! It finished making its already developing pitcher then only made a bunch of leaves!

No worries!
A week? That's pretty fast compared to my Nepenthes. It's a Spectabilis x Spathulata hybrid I got from a giveaway, and it's taken about one month for one of the leaves to unfurl and start developing into a pitcher. It's still a nice plant though.

Congrats, thats very cool. Someday I hope to be able to do Nepenthes. It is a longterm goal of mine but I have lot's to learn and hope to have fun along the way.

When I got mine I just put it outside and it hasn't stopped pitchering.

These ventrata's are tough, some refer to them as a weed.
