FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

I’m thinking of trading a plant but I have to wait till my mom says yes or no. I just want to trade if for a sarracenia, flytrap, or maybe an outdoor sundew. The species is nepenthes ventricosa x lowii red. What would you guys trade it for if I can trade it? It is a bit small.

Cool potential, decent size.
Is it an unrooted cutting? I'm not seeing a pot or roots. That could affect what someone is willing to trade.

It’s rooting but they’re a bit small right now

I'd probably suggest wrapping the roots loosely in some sphagnum to keep the roots developing while a potential trade is sought, but a medium to large sized VFT cultivar or a couple of neat juvenile Sarr crosses wouldn't be out of the question IMO.
After a trade is made, you can then just wrap the roots, sphagnum and all, in moist paper towel and ship.
I'd offer something, but I'm out of room for Neps for now.

Also I just got a new cutting from nepenthes Rebecca soper and I’m thinking of trading it too. It also has a bit of roots attached so it’ll probably survive but I might trade it when I see it starting to grow.

Whoops forgot to add photos

I wish I had something worthy enough to trade! Very pretty plants!

In all honesty, it would be best for you to grow both of those rooted cuttings / basals in about 6 months, once they were better established. Anyone receiving them would probably be growing them in different environment (light / humidity / media ) than you are, and the plants would undoubtedly go through some shock from the shipping process. If this is your first time sending plants in the mail, you should get some advice on how to protect them for / during shipment… either way, I think the plants should get some more time to get stronger.

It’s just my thought.
