# I repotted my Nepenthes today and tried to straighten them out a bit…

_Posted by PattiPlantiPants on 2026-04-18_

I repotted my Nepenthes today and tried to straighten them out a bit with bamboo stakes. Hopefully that encourages them to grow up instead of sideways. I put a liner in these vanda baskets so I’m hoping they don’t dry out too quickly (they are watered at least once and usually twice a day) What do y’all think?

What types of nepenthes are those? They’re awesome!

Thank you! The larger of the two with the red (sun tanned) leaves is a Miranda and the smaller is a Ventrata 😊
