N. mikei lower pitcher
N. mikei is a fairly easy intermediate or highland species.  It is somewhat colorful, and remains relatively compact until it puts up a climbing stem.  For this reason, is is probably a good terrarium candidate, provided that overnight temperatures cool down to about 17 C or lower.
