Are you sure that is a Caesar? I've never seen one so splotched with color or such a striped peristome. Just by looking at it, I would guess there is some other parent in there somewhere, but I guess that's the beauty of seed grown Nepenthes. Anyways, here's my N. Caesar (a valentine's day gift from my wife):

Nice looking plants, though!

My N. Caesar makes colorful pitcher like his. Well... at least eh peristome is very colorful. The body has a light red color. Unfortunately they're (the pitchers) all dead of old age... I got a new one coming!

Sorry the pics are sideways...
 
@jefforever and xvart: What conditions do you grow your N. caesar? I grow mine on a windowsill, 60% humidity, and 80-90 degrees. It grows really slow for me :/
 
first you have some nice nepenthes i love the peristome on the ventrata

second my cesar is growing pretty rapidly i havnt had a hygrometer or therometer in that tank for some time so im not shure about the humidity or the heat but i have my fish tank heater set at 90 degrees
here are some pics

Yeah... It seems a little slow, but I'm sure it'll pick up in my conditions. It's made a large leaf in that time, and it's started another. I got the plant 2 months ago in Hawaii.

I don't know my conditions. They're probably about 75 F and 80 - 90 humidity.

Its under 4 florescent tubes with mylar around it.

Also, I use Maxsea, which is pretty expensive and uncommon.
 
I also have a ceasar, but it's in no shape for pictures. It's recovering from a fungal infection (which, thankfully, I treated in time).

However, I would like to comment that as a hybrid, one would expect individuals of this cross to exhibit the parrental characteristics differently. My ceasar won't necessarily look like yours. Similar, to be sure, but not the same.

My N. caesar is growing at a crawling pace :( The temps i grow it at are 65-75F with 50% humidity. What conditions you guys grow it in?

Mine is definitely not growing in lowland conditions. I'm currently getting swings in temps from 64F to 84F and humidity ranges from 23% to 65%.
