Excellent plant, service!
The plants came in excellent condition, have continued to grow well, producing more pitchers and looking great! I’m just following their growing tips exactly as recommended.
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.
Type of Plant: Tropical pitcher plant for indoor growing.
Pitcher Size: Up to 6 inches.
Sunlight: Bright filtered to partial sun.
Water: Low-mineral water (50 ppm or less).
Soil: Equal parts dried sphagnum moss and perlite only.

Wonderful 1st time experience, will purchase more!
Upon receiving the package, I was immediately impressed with how the plant was packed. And thank you for making it easy to succeed in providing care for this plant. This was the first time I have made a purchase of a carnivorous plant and by following the detailed instructions of the care guide that was provided, I have been able to keep it alive without much effort. I can't wait to see more pitchers form! Thank you. I will be ordering again.

Great plant
Came packaged well, and way healthy with 2 pitchers and one growing. It's since grown 3 more. I live in a desert area, so I mist it at least 2 times daily. But nothing major. Great plant overall.

Not as good as the last one, that's for sure.
I'd bought a Nepenthes x Derrose Alata a few years ago for my office. This plant only gets artificial light, albeit a grow light, and when I'm out of town, I rely on my undependable co-workers to mist/water it. This plant is a monster. I've named her Cleopatra Jones due to her exotic and vigorous nature! This plant, well, not so much. It has flowered on a short stalk, but I believe that it's a survival mechanism. We'll see, but I don't have high expectations for a long life.

Still waiting
The plant arrived in great condition, great packaging. It still has not shown any development, unlike the other plants I got. Its not dying so far as I can tell, but not growing either. Hopefully it starts to take off soon, but it is still April, afterall. All in all, very happy with my purchase.

Great Plant
My N. Deroose Alata was larger than most nepenthes sold on the internet, which was a pleasant surprise. So far, it is growing like a weed and I have no problems with it.
