Nepenthes tiveyi

Nepenthes × tiveyi is a Victorian-era nursery hybrid attributed to the Veitch firm, not a wild species, so there is no native habitat to copy. Grow it as an intermediate Nepenthes: bright filtered light, warm days, mild nights and high but not stagnant humidity.

Where it grows wild

No wild habitat: GBIF lists the name with Veitch authorship as a horticultural hybrid, and there are no wild records. Its parents are Southeast Asian pitcher plants of humid forest edges.

Not applicable for a garden hybrid; intermediate (lowland-to-highland) conditions are the usual approach for Veitch hybrids.
