Hi,
what kind of nepenthes do you think it is?

Extra info:
Recently it had grew up three to four extra baby nepenthes after it have been repotted.
The plant look like a possible Nepenthes atala or ventricosa

Answer
Hi Edmund,

This looks like a Nepenthes x "deRooses alata".  It's a very common one found in stores across the country.  It's a hybrid and the actual cross is N. alata x (N. alata x ventricosa).  Pitcher color can vary quite a bit depending on light exposure.

Good Growing!
