Okay, unless it's really young, that's not calycifida....and I am somewhat suspicious even then. Calycifida produces very rounded leaves, usually even from a young age, and they get big.

I got the plant off eBay (the big friendly giant) as he was selling it as a big plant?and I did not think it was worth the money so he sent out two plants for me. |

It's possible it's still really young, but this is a large colony of calycifida:  U. calycifida by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr Leaves may start off somewhat thin, but they get round rather fast. This is a warm tropical, likes moderately bright light rather than really strong lighting or full sun, but other than that isn't picky, and will tolerate strong light and variant temperatures. |

I did grow one with my Highland Nepenthe's some time ago, but only lasted about a month as all the leaves rotted off.where and how do you grow your calycifida???. |

In a cup of sphagnum in a greenhouse, under variable temperatures and lighting depending on the time of year. The temperatures at night of a highland setup might be too cold for this species (it's a lowland plant), try keeping it well above 60F. Mine don't get any special treatment different from any of my other nearby plants, and I have it in full flower at the moment and dropping seeds galore.
