Well I think it’s a nepenthese alata or ventrata and my humidity right now ranges from 40-50

If it's from a non-CP store then the Nep is most likely N. ventricosa or ventrata (which is mislabeled as alata). I grew mine outside on a bright porch that never saw direct sunlight and it did very well, though humidity was usually 70%+ even during the day.

It was a non-CP store so thanks for the identification and I’ll put mines in shade and I’ll be sure to mist them everyday

It could also be N. 'miranda' or other hybrids - once it produces pitchers, you will have a much better idea, though I'd bet it's the hybrid ventrata. I never misted mine and they did fine.
