Hi Nepenthes experts. I bought a Lowes death cube Nepenthes that was labeled ventricosa. I have listed a cutting on Facebook and I am being told that it is not possibly a ventricosa (which I am starting to believe) and may be a sanguinea. So what do you think?
Ventricosa or sanguinea?

If it is give it 4 hours of direct sunlight and heat and it will go nuts. i keep mine out side in the summer very fast grower.

Nope, that’s definitely an N. Sanguinea. The dots on the inside of the pitcher give it away.

Well, if @SanguineaRocks101 says that it is sanguinea, I'll take it as gospel! Rather embarrassing though, to be listing a plant to be sold only to be told that what you have isn't what you think it is. Oh well. Off to update my grow list to sanguinea.
