Growing conditions
Highland Nepenthes by day by night a typical home the coldest it takes
Good houseplant Grows in an ordinary home with a bright window or a grow light.
- nights 10-20°F cooler than days, ideally below ~60°F (a cool room or a home that drops at night)
- humidity 50%+ helps; many acclimate to less
- dislikes days over ~85°F
- hybrids are usually more forgiving of household conditions than either parent
A cross of highland and highland parents; hybrids usually take conditions between their parents'.
| Day | 70–82°F (21–28°C) |
| Night | 50–60°F (10–16°C) |
| Never below | 40°F (4°C) |
| Humidity | 60–90% |
| Light | Bright indirect light; good airflow |
| Water | Mineral-free only (rain, distilled, RO; TDS under ~100 ppm, ideally much lower); damp, not waterlogged; no tray. |
| Media | Long-fibre sphagnum + perlite, optional orchid bark |
| Dormancy | none (needs a nightly drop of 10-20F year-round) |
Tom's: ~20-25C days / 10-15C nights, RH at least 50% by day and higher at night. California Carnivores: 70s-80s F days, 50-60s F nights, never below 40F or above 90F. NECPS allows nights down to the 40s F. Highland plants kept warm at night slowly decline.
Likely best temperatures. Estimated for the cross from its parents' habitats, averaged as if from about 1,600–2,350 m: days 20–27 °C (68–81 °F), nights 10–17 °C (50–63 °F). Wants nights cooler than most homes, every night of the year.
Worked out the way Tom's Carnivores' Nepenthes calculator does it: the average of the parents' ranges, each parent passing on half. An estimate: parentage, clone and how a plant was raised all matter, and plants often grow well outside it.
