Numerous pitchers form around the base of the plant.
The stem climbs upwards through any overhanging branches of nearby trees and periodically sprouts clusters of pitchers. The largest plant I have seen was at least 30 feet tall. Grows in swampy areas and in poor soil conditions. Definitely prefers to have its roots damp and to be in the shade. N. mirabilis var.
