While perusing the discount plant rack at lowes, I was lucky enough to come across some clearance CPs. Mostly flytraps and ventricosas in death cubes, but extremely salvageable plants. I ended up scoring 6 boxes of Dionea, and 2 Nepenthes Ventricosas for about $12! I stripped all the rot of the flytraps, leaving some spindly plants and got to repotting everything.
To my horror, the ventricosas were potted in mostly coco choir! This led me to repot my other death cube ventricosa, to find the same cheap coco choir, into a fresh 50:50 LFS and Perlite mix. The death cube neps went straight to an acclimation bag, while the one I had acclimated to room humidity will not. I have an ultrasonic humidifier not too far, to keep everything nice and moist XD. I attached picks of the big guy as well, he seems to really be liking the conditions, and has had some huge leaf jumps.
Make sure you are all checking your discount racks periodically, you just might find some more of these terrific finds, full of great growing potential
