  1. It is currently in a south-facing window. Given that it is winter and the sun is very weak and short-lived, is it okay there? It does get a bit of absolute direct sunlight but only for an hour or so, the rest is indirect (but as strong as it can be in winter!)... Also, is it true that these plants don't really need to be fed at all? I saw a fly drop in one of the pitchers yesterday but there doesn't seem to be liquid in any of them?
  2. Hello all - I'm new to the forum. I recently purchased a Nepenthes Ventrata. I have done a lot of research on how to care for these plants but wanted some further advice. First, I found an old plastic fish tank with gravel and thought it would look cool with a plant in so my recently-purchased Nepenthes has ended up in there. Will it benefit at all from being in there? I included a shallow tray with water to try to encourage some (albeit very very minimal) humidity and spray the plant and the tank's walls 2-3 times a day but I was wary about adding water up to the top of the gravel in case it caused mould or fungus. Second, the guidance I found on keeping this vareity of Nepenthes was that their soil should be kept moist but the plant should not sit in water; use rain water/distilled/RO; that they're not very fussy in terms of humidity/light/feeding. Is there anything else I should know or do to encourage the plant to thrive? I seem to be doing well with my Venus Fly Trap and Capensis Alba but I have never attempted to care for a Napenthes before and I'm scared in case I do something wrong! Any feedback/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
