Hello,
I sowed seeds of nepenthes Jamban more than a year ago.
I have 2 plants that made it to now and they recently developped bigger pitchers (on a baby scale, sure).
It's the first time I get nepentheses from seeds. So should the pitchers already look kinda like a Jamban or is it normal that these are sort of drafts and the plant swill form typical pitchers with time ?
(they grow much "faster" lately)

It is normal that they look like that. Most nepenthes have to get big before they show the mature pitchers. That looks pretty typical of a baby pitcher.

But they're a little more than a year, I'd say like 15 months plus yours have large green leafs.
also some varieties are growing faster...

Cool, thank you. Just like VFTs jaws then. They never look like how they'll end up.
On this, I've just ordered for nepenthes seeds of Naga, Jacquelineae, Rafflesiana White & Alisaputrana.
