Loving this plant
I bought one of these about a month ago and it came in great shape and good packaging. Now it is making a pitcher twice the size as the original ones when I got it. I would definitely purchase more in the future.
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.
Temperatures: Above 70°F during the day; 55°-70°F during the night. Always protect from frost.

Beautiful and thriving
I bought two of these in a BOGO deal in January (9 months ago). They were beautiful when they arrived and are spectacular now. I have them in a south-facing window, kept them in the pots they arrived in. I give them water filtered with a Zero Water filter (0 PPM) and one osmocote 14-14-14 pellet per plant every other week. For the osmocote, even if the plant has severa pitchers (and they both do), only one pitcher gets a pellet. Both plants are producing much larger leaves and traps now. These are my first Nepenthes, highly recommended.

I will be purchasing again
I took advantage of the BOGO N. Deroose Alata. The plants came already potted so there wasn’t transplant shock and they were in perfect condition. They are already putting out new pitchers. I’m very happy with my purchase.
