So I enjoy orchids and decided to visit a store here in Florida that has a ton of them. While walking around these nepenthes caught my eye.

So for the price on them where 25$ I don't buy nepenthes and this would be my first plants. I can for sure keep their conditions but any help with names would help. I also believe there is two types growing with about 5 stalks total.

Can I divide nepenthes?

The more abundant pitchers? What about the smaller one with hairs?

Thanks
Most likely also a ventrata
What about division now? Guess I could look it up and not be lazy.

Hi where in Florida are you from? I am interested in visiting the store you went to!
I have some pitchers I got local from Clearwater. One I got a Busch Gardens a year ago and the other I got from a store a few months ago. I have split both those little 6" pots into 7 total pots, two 6", four 10" and one 12" total. They're doing great. I cannot seem to find any good stores around here that carry them. Besides Busch Gardens, the little store I went to has just the same species every time and only 2 pots at a time. Not very extensive. I would love to try another species!

It was in west palm beach, they had just a few but sold a lot of orchids if you like those too. Think it was off north lake blv towards the beach. I was only on vacation visiting family since I'm stationed in another state.

No worries, unfortunately the usual carnivorous plant vendor didn't go, someone had Nepenthes ventrata and someone else had Sarracenia flava and Sarracenia Judith Hindle
