| N. rhombicaulis lower pitcher |
| This species is a good terrarium candidate, due to its small size. However, one should try to keep it cool at night, in keeping with its highland origins. Pitchers are colorful, and relatively long-lived. Rate of growth is fairly rapid. Produces basal shoots readily. |
