It's a ventrata. It's not alata. Alata has been mislabeled so many times that when you search it up it shows ventratas. True alatas are extremely beautiful and have speckles on the pitchers. Ventricosa has more tubby pitchers and red lips like someone put lipstick on it. Btw I would recommend long fibered sphagnum moss but they can survive but will not thrive in peat moss. This is because in nature they grow is moss and not peat bogs. It will be interesting to see the results though. Best of luck!
Thank you! I misspoke when I said Alata. I meant to say Ventrata. Which is why I labeled the video as ventrata. But ya, I have had some ventratas thrive in peat, so it will be interesting to see how this turns out! Thank you for your input, it's really appreciated!
I just bought an unidentified nepenthes today, two plants in one pot for $20. It came in peat, straight peat. I'm getting ready to repot right now lol gonna use perlite in the long fiber sphagnum
Yes I have 4 Nepenthes Alata they look just like this one😄they were labeled or I would have no clue🤣mine are doing great about 40 new pitchers coming about 10 per plant♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
So, this video was 4 months ago. How are the plants doing? I think I need to repot mine. Its getting huge and its in the same pot it was in when I bought it a year ago.
Usually I have my new potting medium wet but I don't understand when you said at around 9:10, that it's not working. It seemed fine to me. You got the plant in, up to where it was before. It was sitting in there decently well. What did you observe that made you feel it's not working?
It just had no stability, the roots weren't staying below the soil due to it being too dry. Once I watered it down I could pack the soil a little better and keep the plants roots under the soil. I should have watered down the substrate first, I just completely forgot before shooting the video.
Hi I’m back CarnivorousPlantHub where do you grow your Nepenthes indoors or outside and if your window too your knowledge have UV blocking tint over it
My windo0ws are a bit older but the nepenthes do not need as much light as other carnivorous plants. If I grow outdoors it's mostly in indirect light, not direct. They get burned pretty quickly in direct sun for too long. Maybe just 4 hours or so would be enough. They seem to do great in window sills! Welcome back my friend!
I don't know to much about spiders but it might be Steatoda grossa (False black widow) or Parasteatoda tepidariorum (Common house spider). I can't tell very well because it seems to be a baby and does not have it's true colours.
Absolutely! Give it the right conditions and it will keep shooting pitchers out. It's common for it not to grow pitchers for a bit while it acclimates. Give it good growing conditions and time, pitchers will come!
Whatever happened with these separated ventratas? Did the one in sphagnum grow any better or worse? I am trying to seperate my own medium sized ventratas but am stuck on whether to pot with peat moss like they came in or make a switch to spghagnum.
They have done pretty similar. The one in moss has put out more basil shoots though. The health of the main plant is pretty similar. Honestly, it's a fun experiment but if it's available I'd go moss over the peat mix. For nepenthes in particular.
@@CarnivorousPlantsHub thanks, I was having a really hard time deciding as my plants came in peat and have been doing great over the last year. I've decided to separate and repot them in sphagnum I ordered online and maybe a 1/3 perlite mix
These were $20 each if I remember properly. They were in pretty good shape. Sometimes when you find them in HD, they are not in good shape at all. So, I didn't mind paying the $20.
Man if that one is a mature plant then mine must be a grand elder because mine has several basal shoots and spans like 2 feet 😭 I’m just now getting stuff for a repot and for propagations because the plant is getting out of hand

Wow, that is amazing, they must be beautiful! Good luck on your plant, it sounds incredible!
Love how detailed you are :)
Thank you for your feedback!
I think it is the mix between alata and ventricosa ventrata
Hello Antraon, I think I misspoke in the video, it's definitely a Ventrata. Thank you for the observation!
So, this video was 4 months ago. How are the plants doing? I think I need to repot mine. Its getting huge and its in the same pot it was in when I bought it a year ago.
Hey Amy! I just did an update! Check it out!! ruclips.net/video/5soxgtZvdEc/видео.html
i have both of my older pitcher plants in peat / perilite mix 3 to 1 and they have both grown like gangbusters so its just what i stick with.
If it's working, I wouldn't change a thing. I have one growing great in a peat perlite mix right now.
hello! did you use peat 3 to 1 perlite ratio? just wanted to clarify as Im planning on copying your method for repotting mine!
@@coolali777 yep
I make a sphagnum nest and ball up the nep, set in the nest and wrap up. a lot easier
Heard that a 1:1 ratio of long fibered spanghum moss and perlite is the best soil to use.
I've also heard of people adding perlite to their LFSM. Might have to give it a shot.
Usually I have my new potting medium wet but I don't understand when you said at around 9:10, that it's not working. It seemed fine to me. You got the plant in, up to where it was before. It was sitting in there decently well. What did you observe that made you feel it's not working?

Interesting! Thank you!
I use both sphagnum and peat in my neps
I ordered a mature plant but it had no pitchers. Will they grow back?
Absolutely! Give it the right conditions and it will keep shooting pitchers out. It's common for it not to grow pitchers for a bit while it acclimates. Give it good growing conditions and time, pitchers will come!

Also how much did it cost at Home Depot (haven’t seen one at Home Depot)
These were $20 each if I remember properly. They were in pretty good shape. Sometimes when you find them in HD, they are not in good shape at all. So, I didn't mind paying the $20.
Man if that one is a mature plant then mine must be a grand elder because mine has several basal shoots and spans like 2 feet 😭
I’m just now getting stuff for a repot and for propagations because the plant is getting out of hand
Nice man keep it up
Thank you, appreciate it!!
We’re these two plants when you bought them or did they split as they grow like bulbs? This is my for carnivore plant
Nope, just one plant that I split into two pots. In the video, I do show me splitting it up!
Is that the rescue from Lowe’s???
This one was from Home Depot.
The pot has holes down? If you water ,whole the water runs to the floor?
This one has a plug. I usually hold a bowl under when watering. After dripping is mostly gone I plug it up.
