Death66, is the truncataxventricosa a highland or lowland? It's really beautiful. Capslock is right, the insides do look like an oil painting! A Master Piece!!!

Looks happy

They will change as they mature. I expect the peristome to become a bit more flairing and the top of the pitcher a bit broader.

Bob Z. has a number of links for pictures on this hybrid in his Nepenthes section: CP Photo Finder -Nepenthes

Andenes - This hybrid should be very tolerant to a wide range of conditions. Ideally would like to see moderately warm days with a little cooling off at night.

Hi all:

I wonder how much cooling this plant will tolerate??. I have both a truncata and a ventricosa and neither likes too much cooling!!. So a hybrid may be on the intermediate, lowland side of things.

i am not very percise on the conditions but this is what i think it gets. i keep it inside under grow lights(16 hour or so photo period)
day temp- 75-82/ humidity over 80%
night- not sure exact temp but not too much of a drop
its seems very easy to take care of, hope my tidbit of info helps!!!

Gus,
  Your ventricosa doesn't like temp drops at night?  I grow mine as a highlander, and it looks very happy

 Is there a lowland form of ventricosa that I'm unaware of?
