Hello guys!
So a while ago, back when I was more of a nepenthes noob, I purchased a reinwardtiana and a ramispina x vogelii. I grow all of my nepenthes outdoors here in central Florida. I have mostly lowland neps which are all loving the heat and humidity here. They're doing great! The reinwardtiana took off but the hybrid did not. So I have done some research and discovered that my hybrid is in fact closer to being an intermediate/highland plant then a lowlander, having highland and intermediate parents.

Anyway, enough with the background lore. Basically, since I can pretty much only grow lowland plants here, I am looking to trade this hybrid plant here for a lowland nep. I am mostly interested in pure species, but hybrids will do as well as long as they are true lowlanders.

Here's what I already have/not interested in:
Rafflesiana
Reinwardtiana
Miranda
Mirabilis
Viking
Ventrata

Plant information:
The plant has a bit of sunburn on a few of the leaves. The leaves tend to turn a shade of red when given strong lighting. Somehow, it is still (sort of) creating new pitchers for me even though the max humidity level indoors is at max 44-45%. I would say its growth rate is medium but it might pick up the pace if grown in a more favorable environment. Also, it's got two growth points and a basal shoot!

Overall, the plant seems to be very forgiving and hardy and would enjoy growing with somebody who could take better care of it then I can.

This plant will be shipped potted.

Here are a few photos!

You can grow some intermediates out here with little trouble, like Veitchii. I have a couple veitchii outside on my patio and they're doing fine. My buddy has a few intermediates under shade cloth as well

Just don't want you to close off your options. Ampullaria would be a good lowland choice though

I definitely agree with that. I have an intermediate thats currently doing great out here. You might even mistake it for a lowland, lol.
But this plant just doesn't like it here, I guess, so I've just decided to give it to somebody else rather than force it to grow through our hot summer.

Definitely keeping an eye out for ampullaria though. They're really nice plants.
