The pitcher traps of Nepenthes × miranda contain a liquid with digestive enzymes. Insects are attracted by nectar and the color of the pitcher. When they land on the rim, they easily slide inside because the inside is smooth. Once inside the pitcher, they find it difficult to climb out and are slowly digested. This provides the plant with nutrients such as nitrogen, which are often scarce in the soil where it grows. Nepenthes x miranda can grow into a plant several meters tall.
