Hi,
So I just got this ping, in the store it was labeled as esseriana, but the pictures does not match my plant .
From what I've seen lately I think it's a Cyclosecta.
Can anyone please help me confirm my suspicions?
Thanks

Looks like cyclosecta to me too.

Yep, give it some brighter light and if it turns purple...

Alright I'll move it close to my sundews, let's see how it turns purple

Any chance of an update?

I'll take a look as soon as I get home, haven't been around my plants for 3 weeks :S (I like to believe they're in good hands ), hopefully there should be a change in the color or at least growth.

In the current picture it is hard to tell. It does have the general cyclosecta lamina and petiole shape, but jaumavensis x cyclo and emarginata x cyclo both have similar leaf shape. If it has colored up, it will be easier to tell if it is pure cyclo or perhaps one of those hybrids.

Alright I'm home again, turns out my plant got moved from location I have a pretty crowded collection.
I still noticed some red coloration on it.

It does not look like pure cyclosecta to me. Looks like a hybrid between cyclosecta and esseriana/ehlersiae/jaumavensis

Makes sense to me, the guy who sells them told me that he used to have those ones you listed and I indeed saw a pure p.jaumavensis.
I guess I'll buy a Mars hydro, hopefully it will get the right amount of light to all my plants
I'll post the progress of my
cyclosecta x ???? anyway.
Thank you

Yes I initially thought it was one of the esseriana group. Cyclosecta's leaves are not nearly as curled on the edges and they tend to lie a lot flatter. And the color is more in the purple/gray range. You'll have to post again when it blooms!

may be a x 'Florian' ( debbertiana x jaumavensis)

to see with the flower, this one is often the best determinant
