I received two hybrids back in October, and they are now producing new pitchers. I took a couple photos showing the first new pitchers to form. The photos aren't the best quality.
I received the plants from Tony at exoticplantsplus.com.
The max x veitchii is great. The peristome is lime green at first, and then turns blood red in about a week. The next pitcher on the plant should be even larger.

I grow max x veit plant under intermediate conditions. The temps vary depending on the season, but the daytime high is usually around 75-80F and the lows around 63-70F. I really think this hybrid can adapt to a lot of different conditions. The main requirement is to have plenty of room! My plant is around 1.5ft diameter with pitchers around 10-12".
I use a humidifier hooked up to a humidistat to control humidity. When I first started growing Neps, I had the humidity set at 80%. Now I have slowly reduced the humidity down to 70%. The plants grow great. I'm going to try to lower it a bit more (60-65%).
They might be good candidates for some windowsills, but not mine! Average humidity around here is 10%!
I would try and get lowii x truncata while the gettin's good
All the truncata hybrids are great. I just don't have room for them!
My wish list:
N x Predator
N truncata x stenophylla
N truncata x aristo
N. truncata x veitchii
N. truncata x maxima
N. truncata x this
N. truncata x that
