Summary
Nepenthes rosea is a tropical pitcher plant known only from Krabi Province, Peninsular Thailand, where it grows at 450–520 m above sea level. Nepenthes rosea got its name from their pitchers which often have uniformly pink interiors. It has been seen growing in sand and humus in varying proportions, on both vertical and flat ground in clearings, scrubland, and open forests. Nepenthes rosea was formally described by Marcello Catalano and Trongtham Kruetreepradit in December 2014. More on Wikipedia ›

Cultivation
Grouped as a carnivorous plant by the genus Nepenthes, which is reliably one kind of plant (archetype table). The table holds no figure for this group, which spans too much for one minimum, and no habitat climate is derived yet; no cold floor is given, and no prose comes from the table.
