Description:
Nepenthes rajah is a remarkable carnivorous pitcher plant native to the highlands of Mount Kinabalu and Mount Tambuyukon in Malaysian Borneo. Known for its giant, deep red pitchers, it is one of the largest in its genus, capable of holding up to 3.5 liters of water. This plant thrives in high-altitude, cool environments and is classified as endangered. Its pitchers are known to trap small mammals and vertebrates, and it hosts a variety of symbiotic organisms. The plant is dioecious, meaning individual plants produce flowers of a single sex. It requires bright light and high humidity, making it suitable for cultivation as a highlander plant.
