Where it grows wild

It grows on the ground and as an epiphyte on limestone outcrops and exposed ridge tops. It shares these limestone habitats with N. tentaculata, N. stenophylla and N. vogelii. Upper pitchers are made far more often than lower ones.

Mostly 1000–1600 m, with records as low as about 400 m. The single measured site is at 544 m, near the bottom of that range.
