Pure or Hybrid:		Pure

Type:			Highland - Grows between 3000 feet &
			10,000  feet above  sea level.  They
			experience  warm days, cool   nights
			and continuous high humidity!

Origin:			North Sumatra

Adult Pitcher:		?

Lighting:		Needs  bright  light,  but not direct
			sun light.  If kept in  a greenhouse,
			it requires 50% shade cloth.

Watering:		Water from above and allow the excess
			to  completely drain.  Water daily in
			this method.  Does  not  like  to  be
			kept in standing water!

Comments:		N. tobaica is a rapid  grower of dis-
			turbed sites such as road embankments.
			It is similar and closely related  to
			N. reinwardtiana but it is smaller in
			size and has non-decurrent leaf bases.
			The typical form's pitchers  are pure
			green with two red ribs. Occasionally
			pitchers  can be pure red or (rarely)
			black. 

			This  is one of the  fastest  growing
			highland  species  which  makes it an
			excellent  beginner's  plant  and  is
			suitable for  growing on sunny window
			sills  as  a houseplant.  It  is very
			adaptable to a  variety of  temps and
			may  be  cultivated  in both warm and
			cool conditions.
