Hi, I am kind of new to growing carnivorous plants, but something I've always wanted to do is create a room in my house that is basically a giant walk in terrarium of an area. I really love Nepenthes species, especially the highland ones, and would love to do one highlighting them, and was wondering if anyone knows what the other main plants that grown in the highland habitats of Borneo and the Philippines, such as trees, shrubs, orchids, epiphytes, herbaceous plants and other things like that.

I'm kind of working on the same thing, but for helis and neps. Neps grow in Borneo with Lecanopteris species, so-called "ant-ferns" with hollow rhizomes that ants live in. Also, some Paphiopedilums are from that area. P. rothschildianum is from Borneo and P. liemianum and similar sp. are from Sumatra.
