Nepenthes x ventrata 'Snowking' - CarniNep132

Nepenthes x ventrata is a natural hybrid involving two parent species: Nepenthes ventricosa, a lowland species, and Nepenthes alata, a highland species. Nepenthes x ventrata is extremely popular, not least because it is relatively easy to grow indoors. Its white pitchers which turn red when exposed to sunlight, make an exotic and interesting spectacle. This variegated variety has leaves that are edged or patterned in white.

It requires daytime a temperature between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius with cool, humid nights. The temperature should never be lower than 10 degrees Celsius or higher than 30 degrees.
