Help identifying this nepenthese?

I'm pretty new at this and this is my first plant. I want to make a real setup for it and get it to pitcher again (it's growing now but not pitchering) but I don't know if it's a highland or a lowland plant and I'm hoping to figure that out before I buy all the stuff. The temperatures here are mild, 75-ish indoors, cooler at night, and the city I live in is right by the ocean so it isn't super dry. I keep the plant indoors on my desk, and it's happy enough to grow new leaves so I was thinking that that might indicate it being a highland plant? But I'm not certain. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated!

From the pitchers it has I'd say that it's N. ventricosa x ampullaria which is a hybrid with a lowland and an intermediate plant. As for it not pitchering how much light does it get every day?

It's on a desk away from the windows, but it gets pretty bright in here so I would say diffused sun? Should I put it closer to the windows? I have an east and a west facing window. Thanks for your help.
 
It's definitely ventricosa x ampullaria, probably Lady Luck, intermediate-lowland. East facing window with 4-6 of direct to strong diffused sunlight if possible is best. Also, this thread should be in the Nepenthes subforum, not the Sarracenia/Heliamphora/Cephalotus subforum.

My mistake (I'll do better next time!) Thanks for the help. I'll move the plant right away.
