This is a Nepenthes Sibuyanensis Tropical pitcher plant. It is a Carnivorous Plant that catches and digest insects that get trapped in its pitchers. It like high humidity 90-95% and high light, summer days about 75F with a night time drop to 55F. Winter Days 65f with a drop to 52f. In winter it grows under florescent lighting in with the Dracula Orchids. It seems the cooler, the better for this guy, warm dry air drys out new pitchers before they can form. It is slow growing and only forms a few pitchers a year so far for me.
