Nepenthes sanguinea
A large, vigorous pitcher plant from the mountains of Peninsular Malaysia and southernmost Thailand, with pitchers 10–30 cm tall in colours from green and yellow to orange and blood red. It is a highland grower: the measured sites sit at about 1,200–1,700 m in cool, constantly wet, humid forest. Give it cool nights, bright filtered light and steady humidity, and it is one of the easier highland species.
Where it grows wild
Mainly terrestrial, scrambling and climbing among vegetation in montane forest, forest edges and clearings; in the wettest upper montane (mossy) forest it can also grow as an epiphyte. Stems are long and climbing, and upper pitchers are more slender than the rounded lower ones.
Literature gives 300–1,800 m. The 17 wild records with an elevation range from 1,199 to 1,713 m, median 1,413 m, so most plants grow in true highland conditions.
