{"product_id":"nepenthes-starter-3-pack-live-67092","title":"Nepenthes Starter 3 Pack, Live Carnivorous Pitcher Plant Collection, Miranda St. Gaya Ventrata Tropical Houseplant Gift Set","description":"\u003cp\u003eThree different Nepenthes, one box, one shipping charge. The fastest way to find out which tropical pitcher plants suit your conditions before committing to a shelf full of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWHAT YOU GET\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree live rooted plants, one of each:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNepenthes x Miranda - the vigorous one. Big speckled red and green pitchers, fast growth, and a climbing habit when given room. The showpiece of the three.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNepenthes St. Gaya - the colorful one. A cultivated hybrid of N. khasiana x (N. ventricosa x N. maxima) known for yellow-green pitchers with red speckling and a striped rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNepenthes x Ventrata - the forgiving one. A hybrid of N. ventricosa x N. alata and one of the standard beginner Nepenthes because it grows well across a broad range of household conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn honest note: these are three distinct Nepenthes. St. Gaya and Ventrata are not the same hybrid. St. Gaya is N. khasiana x (N. ventricosa x N. maxima), Ventrata is N. ventricosa x N. alata, and Miranda is a different hybrid again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHOOSE YOUR SIZE\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStarter 3-Pack - three young rooted plants in 2 to 3 inch pots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLarge 3-Pack - three further-developed plants in 3 to 4 inch pots, closer to hanging their first good pitchers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWHY A SET\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne shipment instead of three. Three plants under the same light and the same watering can, so when one sulks and another thrives you learn something about your conditions instead of guessing. And if you are buying for someone who likes strange plants, three is more interesting than one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCARE - all three want the same basic setup\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLight: bright indirect light, or a few hours of gentle direct sun. More light generally improves pitcher color when plants are acclimated gradually.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater: distilled, rain, or reverse-osmosis water only. Minerals in hard water can build up and damage sensitive roots over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMedium: keep it lightly moist, never sitting in water. Use an airy Nepenthes mix such as sphagnum and perlite, not standard potting soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeeding: optional. Do not use regular houseplant fertilizer in the root zone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eABOUT LIVE PLANTS\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePitcher count, leaf size, and coloration vary between individual plants and with the season. You will receive plants representative of current stock, not the exact plants photographed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSHIPPING AND ARRIVAL\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShips to the lower 48 United States only. Extreme heat or cold may delay shipping to protect the plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll three travel in one box, packed to protect the pitchers and root balls. Please open the package promptly and put the plants back into bright light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome travel stress is normal. Dried or dropped pitchers do not mean a plant is unhealthy. The leaves are what matter, and new pitchers form once they settle in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf there is a serious issue when your plants arrive, please message me with clear photos of the plants and packaging so I can help.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNeed fresh potting mix?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll three plants use the same airy Nepenthes-style substrate. \u003ca href=\"\/products\/nepenthes-potting-mix-pitcher-plant-fertilizer-sample-sphagnum-perlite\"\u003eShop my long-fiber sphagnum + perlite Nepenthes Potting Mix\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHelpful care guides\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStart with the \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/carnivorous-plant-guides\/nepenthes-care-guide\"\u003eNepenthes Care Guide\u003c\/a\u003e and the \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/carnivorous-plant-guides\/why-nepenthes-stop-making-pitchers\"\u003epitcher troubleshooting guide\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompare the plants individually: \u003ca href=\"\/products\/nepenthes-x-miranda-starter-plant-live-96465\"\u003eMiranda\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/nepenthes-st-gaya-live-tropical-pitcher-10657\"\u003eSt. Gaya\u003c\/a\u003e, and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/nepenthes-x-ventrata-live-tropical-78940\"\u003eVentrata\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/carnivorous-plants\"\u003eShop all carnivorous plants\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/carnivorous-plant-soil-supplies\"\u003ebrowse carnivorous plant soil \u0026amp; supplies\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zac's Attack Plants","offers":[{"title":"Starter 3-Pack","offer_id":53802373415275,"sku":"ZAP-3X-S","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large 3-Pack","offer_id":53802373448043,"sku":"ZAP-3X-L","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1008\/3552\/4971\/files\/il_fullxfull.8477516148_sacr.jpg?v=1789709806","url":"https:\/\/zacsattackplants.com\/products\/nepenthes-starter-3-pack-live-67092","provider":"Zac's Attack Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
