Nepenthes Deroose Alata
Deroose Alata is an excellent plant for the beginner. It's 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 be 6 inches tall. This plant also grows quicker than other types of Nepenthes. You can end up with a long vine in just a few months, which makes this plant 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.

Beautiful shipping
The mailman worried me because he accidentally left my package in a neighbors box. Lucky my neighbor brought it over to me. I quickly opened it to see 2 pitchers hanging beautifully. A little scuffed cause im sure the kid holding it wasn't holding it carefully. But she is still thriving. As much as i hate the fruit flies in my kitchen she loves em. She's a beautiful plant to add to my collection.

GORGE!
This Nepenthes is so beautiful and lush. It was bigger than I expected, and arrived very safely packaged. Watching the new pitchers develop has been amazing. I’m in awe of this plant!

tropical pitcher plant: Nepenthes x Deroose Alata
Plant arrived in good time and in good condition, actually bigger than I expected. Two pitchers were about 4" tall, one other was beginning to form, and a few weeks later is about 2" tall. They're being kept on a bay windowsill, in an aquarium tank with some transparent plastic wrapping, which helps keep the humidity over 60%. I give it any house flies I can snag, as well as an occasional meal worm. Good job!!

Nepenthes x Deroose Alata
Came in much larger than expected,what a nice surprise! Throwing leaves and pitchers like nobody's business!

No complaints whatsoever
Our pitcher plant arrived in great condition, with two pitchers still intact. One died off, but as we learned from the very helpful information included that's normal. It's been healthy and growing quickly -- just a month later it has 2 new and fully grown pitchers and another well underway!
