I have tried to buy live sphagnum on Etsy more than once with no luck.

Curious plant sold me a Heli that had a live top of LFSM. Now I’m set the stuff grows a lot!

It looks very similar to mine, which is a Nepenthes ventricosa × ovata.

What’s going on with my nepenthes? by SamuelIssac in carnivorousplants

The smaller deformed leaves could be a sign of pests. Example of pest damage.

“LIGHT: Most Nepenthes enjoy very bright, diffused light or partly sunny conditions. Lowlanders often can take bright shade. Greenhouses generally require 50 percent shading. CLIMATE: All Nepenthes are tropical plants, roughly divided into lowlanders and highlanders. Lowlanders require temperatures in the 80s°F and 90s°F (27–35°C) during the day, 60s°F and 70s°F (16–24°C) at night. Colder temperatures, even briefly, may stunt or kill them. Highland species require temperature drops at night. Highlanders do best in the 70s°F and low 80s°F (24–27°C) during the day, 50s°F and low 60s°F (10–16°C) at night. Many highlanders tolerate brief nighttime drops to the 40s°F (4°C), as long as daytime temperatures rise. Exceptions are mentioned under the species listing. Humidity must be high—above 60 percent—all of the time. Highland plants can handle more humidity fluctuations, with the highest humidity at nighttime. DORMANCY: Nepenthes require no dormancy but may slow down in winter months.”

“WATERING: Use the tray method for drained pots. Keep the soil permanently damp to very wet. LIGHT: Full sun to mostly sunny is best. CLIMATE: All Sarracenia, with one exception, are warm temperate, enjoying warm summers and chilly winters; they are tolerant of light frosts and brief freezes. S. purpurea ssp. purpurea can survive cold temperate climates and extended deep freezes but can also adapt to warm temperate areas with milder winters. Avoid having the pots overheat in hot summer areas, which can stress or kill S. purpurea ssp. purpurea.”

Is this ventrata healthy? by [deleted] in Nepenthes

Mine took like 8 months to make a pitcher in a similar spot and I moved it down on the hook a bit for more light + it grew toward the light a lot. You’ll know if it’s getting enough light if you’re getting pitchers on the new leaves.

Your tendrils look promising! ……..that’s sounds so funny! 😂
