| N. fusca lower pitcher |
| N. fusca is a very beautiful species, with rich colors. An undemanding highland plant, it tolerates a drier compost than most other Nepenthes. However, we have observed no evidence of root rot under typical conditions. It is a slow grower, but pitchers are relatively long lived, and fairly stout. Cuttings are slow, but usually easy, to root. |
