| N. gracilis lower pitcher |
| A very easy grower and an excellent terrarium candidate, N. gracilis is also very common. It thrives even in intermediate conditions, and is easily propagated. Best of all, it is available in a number of different colors, including the red variety shown, which is our favorite. |
