Nepenthes ovata Specimen ID:plant 9 we have grown it under

we have grown it under lowland to intermediate conditions with no issues

It seems like spathulata x spectabilis hybrids are always late bloomers but never disappoint once they mature

It’s documented to grow from 800 meters to over 1600 meters so it’s likely tolerant of a wide range of conditions
