Got this plant a few years back, pitchers looked like ventrata. Managed to split into 3 plants but now the pitchers looked kind of funny. What could be happening?

OMG!!Those are horribly deformed pitchers. Look around and see if theres any pest. Or maybe its from the shock of splitting?

Hi Alcran

Well i just repotted it so growth kinda stoped awhile but now he is making his first upper....The vines about 50+cm......

Hi Hosh

The plant doesn't look attacked by pests since the leaves are all healthy.....Its more of deformed or mutant plant as some call it.

Hosh & Ken, yes the pitchers are DEFORMED, probably due to repotting stress, however it is NOT a MUTANT plant! It will resume with normal leaves once it's back to natural state of mind :tongue: - no anti-deppression required!

Stress causing mutation usually take place during seed-form or early TC process. A plant doesn't become a mutant due to natural or chemical stress when they are adult size, eventhough DC comic like to claim otherwise :laugh:

Put the 2 plants side by side for better comparison.

I'm just guessing here... These plants looks a bit like N. boschiana.... Where did you get the plants from, Hosh?

If you can take a pic of it's leaves, close up shot of lid and peristome then we can better confirm it's ID. Thanks.

Hi ummmmmmm Moderators or something i think theres something wrong cos I POST SO MANY TIMES AND I HAVEN FINISH TYPING....Can cancel those post O.O...Anyways what i wanted to say was...I am definitly not good at IDing neps and other CPs so i might most probally be wrong but i thought that N boschiana has a fatter bottom or in other words a bulbous bottom and also its has a more "star" shaped peristrome you get what i mean? with pointy edges on the mouth...And purpurlish and greenish pitchers.

Ken
