N. spectabilis x ventricosa UPDATED
I bought this rooted cutting off of ebay, and it arrived today. It's really quite large, and the pitchers are beautiful. However, the leaves seem to be abnormally dark and sort of spotted. It almost looks sunburned. The plant also seems to smell weird (an almost musty aroma). Is there something wrong with my plant?
Some pictures:
