hey there my first nepenthes was a judith finn my second is a ventricosa as i said in the other post so any of those 2 would be great for a beginner.
technically i am still a beginner for nepenthes so their alive 1x judith finn 2xventricosa matts ventricosa are a bit small but he said he sends multiples to make up for the size. also the nepenthe judith finns of matts has pitchers bigger then the leafs well atleast my first pitcher is bigger then its leaf! id say its 4-6 inches.

These are all suitable for beginners as long as you're already familiar with general nepenthes soil, light, and watering requirements:
* Ventricosa (highland)
* Sanguinea (highland)
* Khasiana (highland)
* Ventrata (highland)
* Alata (highland and lowland forms)
* Miranda (highland and lowland forms)
* Ampullaria (lowland)
* Rafflesiana (lowland)

Pick the one you like best and get it.

awesome im going to try one in a terrarium so ill look at all the ones that suit mine!

what would be an easynep to grow from seed (i have experience in raising drosera and dionaea from seed but nothing else)

hmm might go for the "lowland mix" from triffid nurseries just to have a go

the N. Ventricosa and the N. Alata ( Highland ) are easy growers

The owner of Triffid nurseries is a good guy
