Wanted to show some pictures of my pitchers, and an older pic of its flowers.

This is a Nepenthes I've had for years, the original vine has long since gone but it sends out suckers occasionally.

Each individual pitcher only lasts a month or so

Interesting. Mine have only died of what I assumed to be old age, because I've only snipped out two that went crispy and brown, just last week. But it's made a pup and lots of new pitchers. The mouths on mine look a lot darker than yours so it might be a different variety. It doesn't vine.

Mine lives in moss inside an underwatering pot, so it's like it's living in a swamp, lol. It's always wet so that might explain it? But air humidity is definitely only high in the summer, winter air is very dry. The traps always seem to be holding water, because I keep splashing myself with water when I clean the shelf under it.

It's the coolest sort of plant.

Here's my guy, the pitchers are definitely different.
