Nepenthes ventricosa has a compact growth habit with narrow, short leaves and medium length tendrils. The pot bellied pitchers can vary in structure and coloration anywhere from pink with red splotches to green with pink splotches and many combinations in between, their large mouths are ridged in pink to red.
Keep in a warm and bright spot with some humidity, appreciates a bit of morning sun - avoid mid day direct sunlight. Ensure the medium never dries out completely, maintain consistent moisture but be sure it has proper drainage and does not remain soggy- do not allow your Nepenthes to sit in water. Use rainwater, distilled water or reverse osmosis water. Be careful with bottled water as these may contain salt which will kill your pitcher plant. Keep a small amount of water in each pitcher!
