New unidentified nep

Hi,
I just got this nep yesterday. I don't really know what it is though. The label says it's a nep hybrid. Kind of hard to tell what it is cause it's so small, only in a 3" pot. It had 2 dried out pitchers that were about 1" long. I trimmed them off. Do I need to wait till it grows some larger pitchers before I can identify it?

Heres some pics...

This one will give you an idea how small it is...

Yes it's way too small to make more than a very basic guess. Info on where you got it and any identifying labels with it might help to start narrowing the possibility down.

Guessing you got it a homecenter type place off the cp rack?

Actually I got it at a nursery. One of the guys there is into CP's. This nep was hidden in a tray full of vft's. I was looking at the vft's and was about to walk away when I spotted it. I thought it was a ping at first. There was another much larger nep there that was in need of more light and humidity. it had no pitchers at all and I would have bought it if I had more $$$.

The label calls it Nepenthes spp. hybrid. and it's from Gubler Orchids.
 
Hello

I would say it is most likely a N. maxima hybrid. I have a few that are from Gubler (one that I have had for about 9 years) and they are all spotted with a nice red peristome.

thanks

i was sent one that looks like this, except the whole plant is noticible hirsute.

That's my old pair. The really good ones are at work.

I have a micrometer that is accurate to 5 millionths of an inch!
 
I would have guessed Judith Finn, based only on what shows up in these parts.
You have kept a Nep hybrid alive since you were seven, Jeremiah? That is truly amazing. My eight-and-a-half year old daughter would not have a chance, lol. She can't keep track of where her shoes are.

Cheers,

Joe
 
I think you're right, Joe. Hard to tell without pitchers, but the growth habit looks a lot like Judith Finn, which is widely available and frequently found at retail nurseries for a reasonable price.

Gotta disagree with you there, Joe. Forgetting where her shoes are is more because she doesn't really care about them.

I STILL forget where I put stuff (shoes included).

But I NEVER forget anything about my plants....
 
5'11" here with size 15 shoes. They are impossible top lose, just turn around you'll trip over them.....just ask my wife.
My 7 yr old daughter can't remember to feed herself evryday let alone something else.
It does look like my Judith Finn which is about the same size.
