How rare is it?
Wild: Likely at risk Rare in trade (early)
In the wild: Likely at risk. Not assessed by the IUCN. Native to Philippines (Palawan: Sultan Peak). Grows only in a narrow band (1,100–1,236 m). A range this small usually means few wild plants. This is our estimate from the range, not an official listing.
For collectors: Rare in trade. 2 listings at 1 shop in 12 days; 0 in stock now; typically sells in 28.4 h. Early estimate: under a month of history.

Growing conditions
Highland Nepenthes by day by night a typical home the coldest it takes
Good houseplant Grows in an ordinary home with a bright window or a grow light.
- nights 10-20°F cooler than days, ideally below ~60°F (a cool room or a home that drops at night)
- humidity 50%+ helps; many acclimate to less
- dislikes days over ~85°F
Grows at 1,100–1,236 m in the wild.
| Day | 70–82°F (21–28°C) |
| Night | 50–60°F (10–16°C) |
| Never below | 40°F (4°C) |
| Humidity | 60–90% |
| Light | Bright indirect light; good airflow |
| Water | Mineral-free only (rain, distilled, RO; TDS under ~100 ppm, ideally much lower); damp, not waterlogged; no tray. |
| Media | Long-fibre sphagnum + perlite, optional orchid bark |
| Dormancy | none (needs a nightly drop of 10-20F year-round) |
Tom's: ~20-25C days / 10-15C nights, RH at least 50% by day and higher at night. California Carnivores: 70s-80s F days, 50-60s F nights, never below 40F or above 90F. NECPS allows nights down to the 40s F. Highland plants kept warm at night slowly decline.
Likely best temperatures. From its habitat at 1,100–1,236 m: days 26–30 °C (79–86 °F), nights 16–20 °C (61–68 °F). Night temperatures in an ordinary home are close to its habitat.
Worked out the way Tom's Carnivores' Nepenthes calculator does it. An estimate: parentage, clone and how a plant was raised all matter, and plants often grow well outside it.
