favorite nepenthes houseplant

Here is a list of nepenthes that I have created. Can you suggest your favorite nepenthes and maybe add other suggestions you like?

Nepentes:

alata
sanguinea
ventricosa
truncata
X ventrata
X miranda
maxmia
 
N x Margaretea
N. truncata
N. maxima x truncata
N. maxima x alata
(anything with these parents in it really)
 
Nepenthes Mixta x Maxima x Veitchii x Northiana x Veitchii

Nepenthes Northiana x Veitchii H/L

Nepenthes Truncata x Veitchii H/L

Nepenthes Spectabilis x Veitchii H/L

Nepenthes Hamakua

Nepenthes Edwardsiana

Nepenthes Hamata

Nepenthes Tenuis

Nepenthes Dubia

Nepenthes Truncata x Aristolochioides
 
I imagine you'd have problems with dubia as a houseplant because it needs those severe night time drops (mine had probs inside), but the rest of those I'd grow in my house if I had them and nice windows. N.thorelliXcampanulata made a nice window plant too, as did chanianaXveitchii and Exotic Lady (and ditto on the Red Leopard!) :-D
 
My faves....

N.truncata (LL or HL)

N.ventricosa

N.sanguinea

N.miranda (needs tons of light)
 
You have one growing well as a houseplant? Do you have a standard temperature household? Do you do anything special for humidity? It wouldn't surprise me if the plant wasn't THAT picky it's just that, for me, that would be a lot of money to risk letting it acclimate to my house... Tell me more.
 
Mine are all growing great in the windowsill:

N. miranda x (?)
N. sanguinea
N. ventricosa
N. splendiana x (rokko x stenophylla)

Windowsill growing is the best!
 
I grow under grow lamps, but certainly not high-humidity at all. N. x Lady Pauline did excellent on my windowsill for several years though.
 
Anything from EP (Exotica plants)
Is it OK to mention EP here? They're wholesalers, not retailers, so I figured it would be alright.
