Nepenthes neoguineensis
A lowland climbing pitcher plant found across New Guinea. It grows on river edges, gravel bars and ridge crests, and occasionally in open grassland or disturbed forest. Its climate is warm, wet and humid all year with very little seasonal change, so it wants lowland Nepenthes conditions: warm nights, high humidity and bright light.
Where it grows wild
A climber of open and semi-open places: river edges and river gravel bars, ridge crests, and less often open grassland or disturbed forest. It is reported from a clay-based substrate. These sites get much more light than a closed forest floor. Stems scramble through surrounding vegetation.
The literature gives sea level to about 900 m, occasionally 1,400 m. GBIF records with an elevation span 60–1,000 m (median 660 m), so it is a lowland to lower-montane plant.
