greetings NavyBrush, I cannot comment as to whether that pot would be good for nepenthes. I did grow drosera capensis along side drosera venusta in a pot just like that. It was very shallow, 2in. maybe. They grew just fine for a very long time(over a year). The roots will probably come out the holes in the bottom, instant root cutting if you were so inclined.Hope that helped! Matt

Yes thank you. I think i'm just going to use a regular pot to be on the safe side.

well seeing as some neps grow in crevices of rocks yes you can probably grow some species in there

The Bonsai pots are kinda low, I use em for Pings &D. Rotundifolias. I do use fine ceramic pottery for most all of my plants at this point... if I find a pot I like and it has no drainage hole or it's too small, I'll chisel it out. If you go that far, I suggest being careful as the pots could easily crumble while hammering. You can see numerous examples of these pots on my website: Tipitiwitchet.blogspot.com Check it out!

Thanks. I find that it's easier to make holes in undrained ceramic pots by getting a cement drill-bit and using an electric drill to make a hole. Saves a lot of time.
