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 Indonesia (West Sumatra: near Taram). Grows only in a narrow band (1,000–1,200 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. Early estimate: under a month of history.

Tom's species pages: N. peltata (865-1635 m) 24-31C days / 14-21C nights; N. glandulifera (1100-1700 m) 24-30C / 14-20C. Most tolerant group; many hybrids grow here.
Likely best temperatures. From its habitat at 1,000–1,200 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.
