| N. glabrata is a small, dainty plant, and very colorful. Initially, it remains relatively compact, and is a suitable subject for terraria, if one can provide the overnight cooling that it must have. However, after some time, long vines are often produced. This species will also often produce shoots some distance up the vine, as well as at its base. Under intense illumination, leaves can turn purplish red. Cuttings seem more prone to rot than some Nepenthes. |
