This newly described species from Palawan, which I helped document before its publication, is closely related to N. campunalata. Although primarily a lowland species, the drone images I captured in 2022 were taken at around 500m (the drone’s maximum altitude), suggesting it might also tolerate cooler conditions. When I revisited the site in 2024, I explored a rice paddy at the base of the same cliff, where the farmer and I discovered more plants thriving in shaded areas. Villagers from Kayasan told me this plant grows everywhere around the cliff basin, but I was not able to confirm this. These findings give me hope that, like N. philippinensis, this species may be capable of growing across a broad range of environments.

For potting, I would caution against using limestone. The species doesn't appear to grow directly in the limestone, but rather in moss created by aquifer seeps that drain out of cracks in the cliffs. So far the species has done well in a mix of akadama and perlite for me, but I haven't experimented with other substrates yet. 

Each plant is from a large assortment of random clones. Plant will be shipped unpotted, priority.
