Pitcher plant

Yes Nepenthes but I was looking into what kind

### nepenthomancer commented on 2024-05-29

The dark leaves and shape of the pitcher makes me think sanguinea. If you get a picture in less warm light and more detail of the pitcher I should be able to figure it out.

It kind of looks like it’s sitting in water, also, which can rot it if you’re not careful/it’s not being let to dry out a bit.

There’s no water touching the pot.  
I water through it and the standing water is more of a humidity tray

Oh I see my apologies. Humidity tray is waaaay safer than misting I get it. Okay so the shape of the pitcher says ampullaria but the hairs say hamata. Obviously it’s a hybrid of some type-and a really pretty one, I’m gonna run it by my friend really quick.

The slender leaves are throwing me off lol thank you  
It wasn’t well taken care of so maybe when some new healthy pitchers get to size I’ll be able to tell

That’s another hamata trait- and hamata’s are brats so I hope it’s not that for your sake 😂
