Right now these two pitchers (Alleged Gaya & Alata ?).

If correct ?

How can I (a Newbie), tell them apart ?
Right now, the cups on both, are a very light, lime green n pale yellow.

How different are their, "Care requirements", too ?


Thx in advance

The left one is Nepenthes x ventrata (commonly mislabeled as Nepenthes alata) and the right one may be Gaya, though it looks more like N. sanguinea to me. Care's the same, just provide lots of light and keep the soil moist (no standing water.)
