I'm not very experienced with Nepenthes, but the Ventricosa I have is doing well. However, I'm curious if there is a suggested ratio for bug to pitcher?
As with VFT's (and I've heard for sundews too), it is suggested that the prey item be no bigger that 1/3 the size if the trap to reduce the possibility of mold. Is there a suggested limit for Neps? Or if it fits, it sits? I have new pitchers forming, and there's a bumper crop of caterpillars due to the mild winter here. I'll feed each pitcher if I can.
Thanks,
Chef

Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is that I make bad decisions.
