{"product_id":"pitcher-plant-ventricosa","title":"Pitcher Plant Ventricosa","description":"\u003cp\u003eNepenthes ventricosa is a vigorous species of Pitcher Plant and is considered one of the easier Nepenthes to grow. Native to the highlands of the Philippines, it features glossy green leaves and distinctive pitchers that narrow noticeably around the middle. The pitchers can develop in shades of red, pink, orange, or creamy white, depending on the plant and growing conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePitcher Plants require different care than typical houseplants. Depending on the type, they naturally grow in nutrient-poor bogs or tropical forests, where they have adapted to supplementing their nutrients by trapping and digesting insects and other small organisms rather than relying on rich soil. Most prefer high humidity and benefit from cooler nighttime temperatures than daytime temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003csection dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNepenthes ventricosa grows best in bright, indirect light with consistently moist, but never soggy, growing conditions. Water only with distilled, rain, or reverse osmosis water, as it is sensitive to minerals found in tap water. Plant it in a nutrient-poor, well-draining medium such as sphagnum moss or a mix of peat moss and perlite, and avoid standard potting soils or added fertilizers. It appreciates humidity levels of 50–70% (though it is fairly adaptable to average household humidity), daytime temperatures of 22–30°C, and cooler nighttime temperatures of 12–220°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vandermeer Nursery Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45987643981868,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0377\/8163\/5116\/files\/Nepenthese_ventricosa.webp?v=1787085632","url":"https:\/\/www.vandermeernursery.com\/products\/pitcher-plant-ventricosa","provider":"Vandermeer Nursery Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
