Hello everyone, how can I get bigger pitchers on my nepenthes ventrata? This plant is around 3 feet tall, grows in 6 hours of full sun per day and water every 2 days. Thanks!

I’m afraid that’s about as big of pitchers your gonna get from that specific hybrid. If you really wanted to try to get bigger pitchers you could try to prevent the plant from getting food; if the plant has ample food already why would it produce bigger traps if it’s already satisfied with what it has? You could move it inside or just put it in a less bug populated area.
