Hello!

My mom bought a pitcher plant for the bathroom and I just wanted to know how to take care of it. Unfortunately, the tag that went with it didn't label the species or cross that it was. It was a lot cheaper than the other pitchers in the store. My best guess is Nepenthes Ventrata but I'm probably wrong. Here is a picture of its pitcher.

I just want to know how much sunlight and water to provide. I don't have a hygrometer to know how much humidity is in the bathroom, so I've just been spraying water on it. It's on a window that receives indirect light in the morning and direct light in the evening.

Thank you!

Yep, that's a ventrata.
The care for this plant is super simple; all that is needed is bright light and moderate humidity. They can take direct morning light if it's available and will tolerate humidity in the fourty/fifty percent range. Easy peasy.
