Where it grows wild

It grows in submontane forest, like other members of the N. alata group, starting as a rosette and later climbing through shrubs and small trees at forest edges and in clearings. The species is known from very few collections, and its exact microhabitat has not been well described.

The recorded range is about 1,350–1,589 m in submontane forest, making it an intermediate-to-highland species.
