Nepenthes pilosa is an easy highlander that requires little care. It is characterized by very hairy tendrils and a lime greenish yellow pitcher with no striping. At first I didn't really like this species that much, but it has kind of grown on me lately. The pitcher coloration and copper hairyness make this a unique species. I had heard from another vendor that some N. pilosas he purchased turned out to be N. pilosa x veitchii. My N. pilosa shows no signs of striping so I'm pretty sure this is not a hybrid. For right now, this species is easy to care for with little to no trouble and adapts well to growing outdoors.
