Does anyone know where I can purchase this plant? I've seen it in some oversees Nurseries online, but none in the US.
Thank you

Herr Wistuba sells two clones of this species. Most of the plants in the USA are from one of them. The cuttings that I've seen come from individual growers.

Since they are not frequently available, they can command high prices when they do show up. Earlier this year, I sold some of my spare plants for charity (Heli's, N. hamata, N. jamban, rare epiphytic utrics, etc) and a rooted cutting of N. tenuis commanded the highest price - over $300 (yup - more than an adult, rooted cutting of N. hamata producing upper pitchers).

All the best,
Ron
