I’m thinking about getting my first Nepenthes. I have successfully raised venus flytraps, sundews and sarracenias, it’s time I try growing another type of carnivorous plant. I would like to get some easy ones to start with. I have read a lot on their care and I know about highlands and lowlands. I would prefer species that don’t require a dome or green house that I can either put outside or in my house. I live in northeast Georgia I could put them outside in the warm months and when it gets too cold I can bring them in my house. I have a big window (about eight feet wide) that faces south/southeast; it’s worked well for growing cold sensitive sundews in the winter. I’m thinking Nepenthes alata, khasiana, sanguine, truncata and ventricosa would be good choices. Any advice is gratefully accepted.

Nepenthes ventrata is very easy to care for, for me that is your best option. Ventrata=N.Alata x N.Ventricosa.
