Re: Flowering neps?
N. ventrata plants are nearly weeds as it is, and they will flower profusely when they're ready. You can fertilize them with a high phosperous (the third number in a fertilizer, NPK) fertilizer such as "Blosson Booster". You can also let the long stems hang over the sides of the pot so they hang down below their root ball. This will almost force basal growth. Some species seem to be more difficult to get to flower than others, and require a shift in temps combined with a change in daylength (photoperiod), but N. ventrata is not very difficult. Mine used to flower during spring. - Rich
