This carnivore is Nepenthes ventricosa ‘Rosea’, aka “Red Pitcher Plant”. Many of the carnivore plants grow in bogs and only do well when grown in bog-like conditions. I chose this particular carnivore not only because of its bright red pitchers but also because it can be grown similarly to many common houseplants. I am growing my plants in a simple media of peat moss. Peat is very inexpensive and can be found in any nursery and big-box store. This Nepenthes is a lowlands type, found in elevations below 3000’. Thus, they are warm-loving plants and do best when the temperature is kept above 60 F. They will tolerate temperatures above 90 F so long as there is adequate shading, humidity, and water.
