Default Re: How are your ventricosa?

Hi,
Since we're discussing about ventricosa, I might as well ask you all here. My ventricosa "black peristome" from MT been producing pitcher with irregular coloration on it's peristome. The coloration of the pitcher also become paler compared to just a few months ago. The plants is fine and the pitcher size is slowly increasing in size on every new pitcher.

I think it might be due to recent dry weather that's been going on for almost 2 months (without any rain) and I kept all my neps outdoor. I believe the recent production of basals for this ventricosa is also probably due to the weather related stress. What do you think??
