Cool plants! I love the green (antho-free?) purp. Reminds me of some I saw in the wild at muskoka. Sarracenia Purpurea F. heterophylla

The Sanguinea is absolutely flourishing with a bunch of new pitchers forming Attachments:

Hey I have a question for anyone who may be able to help. Is it possible to grow 2 different nepenthes together in a pot of it's large enough? I have a nepenthes maxima that was reported into something much bigger a little while ago and have recently considered picking up this tiny Izumiae. The Izumiae where it has been for the last two years has literally barely grown whatsoever. Although healthy it's minuscule. I was hoping to try to grow it in the pot where my maxima seems to be doing so well. Any thoughts?

Cool, ya I'm not planning on keeping them together. I just want to change up its conditions from what they've had it in for the last couple years to see if it helps out growth because obviously something is lacking. And after seeing the mature Izumiae i honestly think it's my favourite nepenthes. I'm determined thanks. Anyone with any personal experience with Izumiae species feel free to get at me with advice

Hi Keeper, you can grow both of those plants in the same pot provided that the izumiae gets enough light and isn't shaded by the larger maxima.
Also keep in mind that maxima is more extensive in its elevation range living from 600m up to 2600m above sea level.
The izumiae on the other hand lives in a much narrower band from 1700-1900m above sea level.
There is a chart somewhere with numbers detailing the drop in temperature for each 100m rise in elevation for Borneo and surrounding areas.
See if you can find it and then try to tailor your night time drops closer to what the izumiae would experience and the maxima will just go along for the ride, since it is more tolerant of a wider range of night time temps.

This N.Hamata x Ventricosa was seed grown and kept a majority of characteristics from the hamata rather than the ventricosa which is really cool. Love how dark and evil these beautiful pitchers are. Attachments:
