Hi Ludwig,

Can I know what conditions the ventri x arist is grown in? Can it be grown in lowland conditions since there is the ventri parentage there? Nice plant. Was wandering since we can't grow arist in the hot tropical climate, if this hybrid can survive it would be a good subsitute. It still has a slightly angled peristome almost verticle like it's parent arist.

I don't think ventricosa will do well in lowland conditions. This hybrid definitely does better in cooler conditions, especially at night. Too many warm nights may kill off the pitchers but the plant will probably survive. I still wouldn't say it is a true warm grower...hope this helps and thanks for the compliments.

It's like a better version of ventricosa (you know how I feel about most of the species lol....außer K/porzellan).

Great plants Ludwig. I also, esp, like the ventri x aristo.,

since we're all addicted might as well get one and try ;D

Hybrids as such usually adapt better. I have a fusca x reinwardtiana which is doing ok, pitchers may not be as startling as those in highland conds., but 4" length pitchers is quite an accomplishment. I will post the photo in a new thread.

It's very difficult for us over here.
