Multiple nepenthes in the same pot

[monkey_Cup]

I have had the idea it would be really cool to put a green, red, and black N. Albomarginata all in the same pot, to get the pitcher color differences. But thinking about individual plant growth, getting light to each plant if one grew faster than the others, crowding, shading, and pot size, these are concerns for a couple years down the road. I was wondering if anyone has intentionally tried to put multiple plants in the same pot, doesn’t have to be this species, and what concerns/problems over the course of a few years you encountered. Thanks for any input.

My recommendation is: don't. The eventual need for repotting will be a nightmare to untangle them, and they will compete with each other for resources inside the pot (root space, light access, any available nutrients in the soil, etc.). Just grow them in separate pots alongside each other. I have green, red, and Kuching Spotted growing out next to each other, and once they're all the same size they'll have pitchers draped alongside each other without being completely on top of each other.

I asked about this a few years ago here: Communal Nepenthes Pot?

Currently, I have a communal pot that has 3 neps of different species. Growing them together has been great, but they are now getting too big and need repotting. Also, they will look better individually, as I have a new place with more space. I'm going to replant them in separate pots soon.

Here is a photo of the communal plants. They are (left to right) N. [globosa "klom" x (N. globosa x ampullaria "Black miracle")], N. x "Lady Luck", N. (lowii x veitchii) x campanulata:
