Deroose Alata are often a person's first step into the wonderfully addictive world of Nepenthes. It's very easy to grow, and you really have to go out of your way to kill it. Pitchers are durable and beautifully pink-red. On larger plants, pitchers can get over 7 inches tall. Vines that Deroose Alata grows in full sun can eventually become a beautiful display for any windowsill - draping, climbing, and cascading vines of lovely, lance-shaped foliage with a prominent red midrib and tendril, festooned with pitchers. The speed at which it grows and the size it can get makes this one of the most rewarding carnivorous plants to grow. Many garden centers mistakenly label this plant as Nepenthes alata. However, it is actually a hybrid, Nepenthes alata x ventricosa.

    Nepenthes Deroose Alata

    I absolutely LOVE the plant. It is doing well so far. I water only with rainwater, and have it situated on a shelf where it gets at least 4 hours a day of sun, and then I switch it to another shelf for some more sun light.I have several leaves where at the tips I can see the new pitchers developing. I also took your advice from your site, and bought the flourescent bulbs for plants, and they pick up the slack for cloudy days. I am anxiouis to see the pitchers grow in size. I have many orchids, but I am becoming more and more fascinated by these carnivorous plants. I read somewhere, that liquid fertilizer on the acid side, and diluted, can be added, What are your thoughts on this? I am geatly pleased, and impressed by the tremendous customer support that you fellas offer, and I hope to acquire more plants from you once the winter is gone. Stay safe, and thank you for your concern. Herb
