Nepenthes undulatifolia

A highland pitcher plant known only from South East Sulawesi, described in 2011 and named for the wavy margins of its leaves. It grows at about 1800 m, so it is a highland Nepenthes. Little is published about its habitat, so grow it like other Sulawesi highlanders: warm days, cool nights, high humidity and bright filtered light.

Where it grows wild

Its habitat is poorly documented in accessible sources. As with most Sulawesi highland Nepenthes, it probably grows terrestrially in montane forest or scrub, scrambling into surrounding vegetation, but this is inferred rather than recorded.

About 1800 m, the only elevation given in the literature.
