Description: Endemic to Borneo, N. hirsuta is found in shady lowland forest usually on sandstone hills. This species is named for the coarse hairs which cover the stem, leaf undersides, and tendrils. The green pitchers can be up to 15 cm in length and in some varieties are spotted with purple.

Cultivation recommendations: Grow in warm and humid conditions. Can tolerate a bit more shading than for most other species. See also: How to Grow Nepenthes
