So I have this nepenthes.. no idea of the exact variety, he’s grown a ton in the past few months but won’t develop any more pitchers. Does anyone know why they do this? Also if you know the variety that’d be awesome. There are pictures of the tiny pitchers in the plant tag.

Not sure of the variety, but generally nepenthes don’t produce pitchers when the humidity is too low.

I keep it around 55-65% in this location.. my other n.gaya is producing them like normal

Needs more light. Looks like a sanguinea. 10hrs+ full sun is what they need.

Hm possibly, it does have the purplish blush on some leaves so I was thinking it was getting plenty. Could try moving it to the grow light though to know for sure, thanks
