| N. murudensis lower pitcher |
| Named for G. Murud, this species is, in our care at least, fairly slow. Plants seem to take a considerable period of time to become established. Other than that, however, they are quite easy and do very well under standard highland conditions. The pitcher in the photo is still rather immature, being only 3 cm in height. However, it is nonetheless very colorful. Time from seedling to maturity for this species is unknown, but likely to be several years. |
