Habits of pitcher plants
They generally grow at the edges of forests or shrublands or in open areas, where the environmental humidity and temperature are relatively high and there is bright indirect light.
Pitcher plants grow in acidic and nutrient-poor soil, generally choosing white sand, peat, sandstone or volcanic soil.
Special cases: for example, Nepenthes rajah grows in soil with high metal element content. Nepenthes albomarginata can grow near the high tide line of sandy beaches. Some pitcher plants can also grow on rock walls. Species like Nepenthes hamata can avoid contact with soil and grow as epiphytes on trees.
Pitcher plants are divided by altitude into lowland pitcher plants and highland pitcher plants. Highland pitcher plants require a large temperature difference for care.
