Is This Nepenthes glabrata? Yellowing and Identification Doubts

Ian's plant (sold as N. glabrata) has hairy-winged lower pitchers lacking red coloration, yellow-green pitchers, and a basal shoot. Grown under a tree in dappled light.

Glabrata

Jeff Dallas: Could be mislabeled (nurseries sometimes misidentify batches—e.g., D. graminifolia sold as D. spiralis). Contact the dealer. The yellowing suggests heat stress—N. glabrata is ultrahighland. Try cooler conditions, daily cool watering, and weak orchid fertilizer (¼ tsp/gal powder, ~¼ strength) every 2 weeks.

Good Growing!
