Identifying a Vigorous Nepenthes: Likely N. sanguinea Hybrid

A New York grower’s plant grew from 5″ to 3+ feet with 9″ pitchers in three years, pitchers shrink in winter, none in winter, explodes outdoors in summer. Cuttings root vigorously.

Probably N. sanguinea or Hybrid

Appearance matches N. sanguinea, though pitchers are greener than typical. Many varieties/hybrids exist. More light may bring orange/red coloration. For year-round pitchering, add 3000–6000 lumen fluorescent lighting (1–2 cool-white shop lights). N. sanguinea is an easy, frequent pitcher producer.
