| N. northiana lower pitcher |
| N. northiana is one of the most remarkably beautiful of all lowland Nepenthes. It is a rapid and easy grower, provided that its environment is kept very stable. It likes very warm, humid conditions, and does best in a low-light environment. Note that this species becomes very large when fully grown. Leaves can reach dimensions in excess of 65 cm! |
