That depends entirely on how well you can grow them and if they stay healthy. The plant itself can get large enough to take over a small bathroom with 11-14" pitchers. I personally wouldn't waste the time, effort or room for a ventrata. It's really not that attractive and just a starter plant IMO. Pitchers will last longer IME and plants will grow faster if you keep them fed, but don't over do it.

okay, I think that since it is winter the pitchers are dying. but the rest of the plant is growing well. also how big can a ventricosa get? I think mine is just a green form.

Here is a picture of the Nepenthes Ventrata plants in my office. They have grown huge, and I really enjoy them. And this is without repotting them or feeding them, although at times they have done extremely well attracting and capturing their own food.

This is my first attempt to post a picture to this forum, so we'll see if it works. I just included my photobucket link under Optional Link URL. Is this the best way to do it?

Very nice plant!

Nice plant. Mine is still pretty small, it is a mature plant though. By the way, nobody has answered one of my questions yet so i figured id ask here. can neps be grown epephyticaly in cultivation?
