Identifying a Store-Bought Nepenthes: It's a deRoose's alata Hybrid

A grower posted photos of a Nepenthes that produced 3–4 basal offshoots after repotting, wondering if it was N. alata or N. ventricosa.

Jeff Dallas identified it as Nepenthes × “deRoose’s alata”—a very common hybrid: N. alata × (N. alata × ventricosa). Pitcher color varies with light.
