Where it grows wild

A lowland climbing pitcher plant of central and south-eastern Sulawesi, producing both lower and upper pitchers. Species-specific habitat notes are scarce; like its relative N. mirabilis, it is likely to grow in open, wet, often disturbed places such as swampy ground, scrub and forest edges.

Reported from 0–500 m. The wild records carry no elevation.
