Nepenthes hurrelliana
A highland pitcher plant from the mossy mountain forests of northern Borneo, growing mostly as an epiphyte up to 10 m off the ground. It has a wide altitude range of 1300–2400 m, so it wants a cool, very humid climate with a clear night drop. Treat it as a standard highland Nepenthes grown on the cooler side.
Where it grows wild
Grows in tall mossy forest and upper montane forest, usually as an epiphyte on moss-covered trunks and branches up to 10 m above the ground. It also occurs in stunted mossy heath forest, and some populations grow on the ground. On Mount Murud it becomes rarer above 2100 m, where the vegetation is more stunted and exposed. Rare natural hybrids with N. lowii and N. veitchii are known.
Recorded from 1300 to 2400 m. The single measured site sits at about 1420 m, near the lower end of that range.
