Hello everyone,
Im new to the forum, (ive lurked on here for a while admiring everyones incredible plants!) but i finally decided to sign up a few days ago.
I've been growing Lowland nepenthes for about 6 years now, last year i went out on a limb and bought a few highland/intermediate hybrids (N. lowii x ventricosa red) (N. tomomi X Tiveyi) (N. truncata x ventricosa), I figured the N. lowii x ventricosa red would probably die but i had to try it anyway, To my complete surprise a year later its thriving, as are the other 2 plants.
The only other Highland/Intermediate plants I've grown are the more "adaptable" common ones (ventricosa, maxima, sanguinea, khasiana)....
I was wondering if there are any other tolerant and adaptable highland species/hybrids out there? Ive always been afraid to try Highlanders but now I'm curious about trying others.
My growing conditions are roughly 85F/29C in the day, 70F/21C at night, "way above what i would consider highland"
I think my growing temps may even be above what most would consider internediate.
here are a few of my older plants,
bicalcarata
(my not so gigantic) rafflesiana gigantea
dyneriana
truncata
Any advice on highland species/hybrids i might be able to grow under my conditions would be appreciated.
thanks
