| N. ampullaria "Cantley's Red" |
| This species is fairly easy to grow, and does like very warm conditions. Many color varieties exist, and their rates of growth are not all equal. Our experience suggests that the plain, all-green variety is likely the fastest growing, followed by the speckled variety and Cantley's red. Growth is accelerated when plants are well-illuminated. A good beginner plant, and easy to propagate. |
