One is a ventrata. The other didn’t have any pitchers when I received the cutting but I think it’s also ventrata

I chose to put the cuttings in water so I can see the progress. Hopefully in a couple months I have some nice roots

I’d suggest putting them in a ziplock bag to keep humidity high. Open it for a few minutes each day to get some fresh air in there.

Just give it some time. I've had Nepenthes take as long as 3 months!
