Hello Adao,

Trent here at the office. I saw your picture of the Nepenthes hybrid. Hard to
say what it is. I see N. alata, maybe N. khasiana in its background. It is
still a small plant, and appears to be a seedling, because the pitchers look
like typical juvenile forms for a hybrid using the above mentioned species.
There may be some N. mirabilis in there, but the leaves are not right. The
mirabilis would be a grandparent-if at all in the mix.

Grow it in typical Nepenthes conditions. Highland conditions would be fine,
and it would probably be just as happy treated as a lowlander.

Considering its size, you have a long way to go before it flowers. It may
never bloom, or it may be one of those clones that flowers several times a
year. Only time will tell.

Until later,

Trent Meeks
