I havent been able to find much information regarding the care of this nepenthes, im keeping it with my other plants in my terrarium but for some reason it doesnt grow at all, while i've heard that this should be a nepenthes with one of the biggest pitchers of them all. does someone know what kind of nepenthes this is? lowland/highland ect.

Nepenthes x hookeriana is a naturally-occurring lowland hybrid between ampullaria and rafflesiana. If you're growing it in a highland terrarium I imagine that's why it's not growing. I have one that I have grown at both room temperature and at lowland temperatures with lower light levels. It did fine both ways but I've gotten larger pitchers since moving it to lowland conditions. I'm not entirely sure if it's due to temperature or the different lighting.
