Tubby Nepenthes?

I have a probable sibuyanensis x ventricosa that is pretty easy, if a bit slow.
Here is the pitchers it came with



A pitcher off of the basal

I grow it in intermediate conditions with humidity ranging from 30 to 80%. It usually hovers around 60% on the average day however. Look around for sibuyanensis hybrids, most are pretty easy and the pass along their tubby shape.
 
N. ventricosa, N. ventricosa hybrids, and N. sibuyanensis hybrids are all super tubby. Like Moss said N. ventricosa x sibuyanensis is a real tubmaster (just bought myself one actually!) there is a ventricosa form called "squat" but Ive never found one for sale.
 
Not the tubbiest, but more so than most: N. Lady Luck is a good looking easy type that is red.

Oh!
I recently bought this, not as tubby but I'm still excited about it. Photo from previous owner.
Amp x (Spath x Gymnam)

Both seem to be pretty good growers in my a intermediate climate (low end in winter, high end in summer)

I'm almost positive I saw that exact plant on sale on facebook a few months ago. Good to see that it made it to a good home. It's by far my favorite hybrid using ampullaria that I've seen so far. Definitely keep us updated on that one.

That looks beautiful!

You probably did! The one I bought was a cutting, this is the first pitcher as of right now.
