This plant has a very wide spread from the coast to the highlands, because this is nepenthes divided into two types of highland and lowland species, although most species grow in the highlands. The recorded species grew at the highest altitude was N. lamii at an altitude of 3.520 m.

This species is the most typical of the genus Nepenthes, can be found in Borneo, Sumatra, Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore, Maluku Islands, and New Guinea. Nepenthes ampullaria is also known as the only "vegetarian" semar baggage species, because these plants have no nectar glands on the pouch lips so rarely do insects get stuck in the bag. Generally most of the objects found in the bag are rotting leaves, animal feces, twigs and rain water.
