I purchased this nepenthes at a garden center about year ago, and as usual it was not labeled with the species. I know that Nepenthes Miranda are commonly sold at garden centers, but as this one ages it doesn't show the typical characteristics of a Miranda (such as the toothy peristome and the bulbous shape seen in the picture). If anyone could help identify this more accurately it would be greatly appreciated!

pb93+ - I think your plant is Nepenthes x hookeriana, which is Nepenthes rafflesiana crossed with Nepenthes ampullaria.

This defenitely looks like Hookeriana. Uncommon plant too, congrats!

If you're thinking about care, humidity >60% RH and warmish temps, and filtered light will do this one good.

I'll have to take a few more pictures later tonight. But it does produce long tentrils for its size, even when it was younger.
