N. gracilis (green)
Description: A common and widespread lowland species occuring in Sumatera, Borneo, Sulawesi, and the Malay Peninsula. Plants of N. gracilis can be found growing in a variety of habitats including heath forest, swamps, and disturbed areas such as roadcuts. The slender pitchers, which average around 6-10 cm in length, are usually green in colour with faint purple markings. Rare forms, such as the one pictured here, can be entirely deep purple-black.
Cultivation recommendations: A very fast-growing and vigorous species if given warmth, sufficient light, and humidity. It makes an excellent terrarium plant due to its small size. See also: How to Grow Nepenthes.
