Has anyone ever bought a mystery nepenthes seedling from littlecarnivores on ebay? I'm thinking about getting one and wanted to see/hear about some results.

The vast majority of the time, no ID Nepenthes seedlings are the result of when people buy wild collected "edwardsiana" seed (or other rare species.) 99% of the time it ends up being either N. stenophylla or N. zakriana.

Interesting. I didn't know people "scammed" with nepenthes seeds that were less rare. I dont think this is the case for these ones though. The description says that they received seeds as a gift from a fellow grower that did not have a description as to what species/hybrid they were. They say that they are growing well in highland conditions, so I'l probably just pull the trigger and get one.

I bought one earlier this year when they were “on sale”. Here are a couple of pics

I never realized how "hairy" it was until I looked at the picture I just posted on the computer instead of my phone. IMO it looks like it is either "glandulifera" or a hybrid with of "glandulifera". I know there are people on this forum who are much better with the identification of species, so I will defer to their expertise.

Thanks for sharing some pictures. If i fo end up getting one ill probably wait for the sale, as the price seems a little bit high for a mystery nepenthes. Its probably still to early to tell what it is. Can you post another picture when the pitchers get bigger?

I'll do my best to remember! If you decided you want an update you can also DM me here and I post new pics then.

It would probably be easier to pm. This post will definitely get buried.

I know someone who got one when they were first listed and still has it, and it is 99% stenophylla (sorry no pics) but could possibly be a hybrid

Doesn’t seem to have the glandulifera glands on it. More likely another hairy species/hybrid.

whatever it is its pretty cute. I would assume these mystery Neps would be ventricosa, or some such hybrid. Those look really nice
