Overgrown Pitcher plant. (Nepenthes ventricosa (Pitcher Plant))

This is the famous pitcher plant. Usually grown in warm humid greenhouses or the tropics. Its grown well for me in Mediterranean climate,but no pitchers!..so enough of that..in the house it goes by a sunny window over my 920 liter aquarium. I want pitchers!

Thanks for sharing, Stan. I had no idea what this was, I’ve had to google. Very interesting too! Hope you are keeping safe.

Lets see if I can get this plant to make pitchers now.
