Question
Hello AE I抦 a returning member to the world of CP cultivation. I used to grown them with fair success back in the 1970抯 and 80抯, but due to work related travel, I was unable to give my plants the attention they rightfully deserved. Now I抦 settled down in New Mexico and have large windows facing the right direction, I抦 back in collecting and growing my favorites, Nepenthes.  I would love to start growing native pitchers, and my wife just gave me a few VFT抯 (which I repotted in the correct soil immediately!!) but I抦 afraid the outdoor cultivation of CP's at this higher elevation would be too hard for them.

Here are outdoor details:
I live at an elevation of 6700ft; we have approximately 330 days of sunlight. The relative humidity on my side of the mountain ranges from 7% to 40%. We do get some breezy days. Water is too full of minerals to use directly, so I have been using Distilled and RO water. And last. The UV is high!

What do you think?

Answer
I can't say for certain how your plants will grow since I don't have experience in growing plants in that particular climate.  Both Sarracenia and flytraps can grow outdoors in our region.  They will tolerate lots of sunlight.  You might notice shorter growth, however, because of the lower humidity, strong breeze and stronger UV levels, but they will acclimate to your conditions.  The main issue is nighttime frost that can occur during the summer months at that elevation.  I don't know what your weather patters are like, but you will need to take this into consideration.  Plants that experience summer frost generally don't grow as large as plants growing at lower elevations.  

Another option is to grow your flytraps in the sunniest windowsill possible.  It's never my first choice to grow flytraps indoors, but in this particular instance it might work out for you since you have a high number of sunny days in your region.  The only issue is that your flytraps may behave like annuals rather than perennials when grown indoors since they won't have the opportunity to experience full winter dormancy.  There's always compromises that you have to consider when your location isn't ideal.  

Good growing!
