Hello, N.Maxima waxy leaf is all I know about this plant hoping for a full breakdown. I'm not even sure if its wavy leaf not waxy leaf. I'm going to research these plants the best I can. Came in a pot very wet for now I will keep it wet won't let it dry.

That kinda loooks like a N. Maxima waxy leaf, wait till its more mature and ull know for sure good growing !

It'll be a wavy leaf, there isn't a waxy leaf. It should be a pretty easy plant as maxima can tolerate pretty much anything, but wavy leaf is more finnicky than normal maxima. I would let it dry just a bit they don't like to be wet all the time but moist if you catch my drift. Try to keep ambient humidity above 60%, and if you have the resources a household temp drop of 5-10 degrees is favorable whether that be from the plant being in the light and cooling off when it turns off or etc.

Thanks again Bumpy. The night time drop is no problem. Not dry but let it dry between watering. Am I going ro distilled rain? When I water i make sure not to overflow the top of the pot. I like to run plants under the facet for twenty minutes real low flow. Not sure if thats possible with this guy. What about fertilizer if any. Do I need to drop ants in those pitchers? Water about weekly? I'm thinking twice a week. Would this be a plant I could mount? Also light requirements? Will each pitcher look different like they do now or all look the same once mature? I know with crosses almost anything can happen.

Great picture. The cuttings do you propagate them? I feel like I'm getting conflicted care info from Google. How many hours of direct sunlight each day? Temperature above 80 degrees. I have it in indirect sunlight now I keep orchids so assumed lighting would not be an issue. I can move it outside give it however many hours or direct sunlight each day. Also fertilizer. I want it to catch bugs haha

Thanks. I have them on a south patio so far everything seems good.
