I'm not good at identifiing nepenthes but most nepenthes sold at stores are ventricosa or sanguinea.

Here is a site that probably has a photo of every CP in existence.

Hard to say without seeing the pitchers but I wouldn't be surprised if it were an N. ventrata.

Well, I guess I'll have to hope I don't kill it before it has time to mature those baby pitchers :-) Whatever it is, it's nothing exotic or rare - the original price was $15 and I found it reduced to $4. I'm fairly new to carnivorous plants and thought I'd give this a try (besides which, I'm a sucker for a bargain!).

Any thoughts on its current pot? Too big/small/just right? It is planted in sphagnum.

Thanks

It could use something deeper. I would coax entire contents out as one unit and plave in a biiger, deeper pot.

Will do - Thanks!

ventrata probably. great bargain! where did you get it?

nepenthes ventrata almost undoubtedly. its hard to tell by the leaves,but that is the most available species in the garden centers and drug stores. usualy marked as ventricosa or alata. ime suprised at the size. the nepenthes ive seen in a grocery store were weak shriveled things that were half dead and not worth the twenty bucks they were priced. i havnt checked any other places. i know target sells sarracenia hybrids that are marked as cobra lilies. i bought a few. not very good with temperates though. they didnt last.

looks like ventricosa, the undeveloped pitchers, stem, and leaf morphology bare resemblance to my plant

wow i would pay like 30 buck for that but 4 thats an amzing bargain

if i were you i would send this picther to all experts.com if you want to know the speacies of this plant, here the website.

One of the most common Neps being sold is N. ventrata. You could have that plant.
