Best Nepenthes for Windowsill Growing: Skip the Finicky Species

A grower considers N. maxima, N. aristolochioides, N. jamban, and N. jaquelineae for a west/south windowsill. Jeff Dallas warns all are slow, difficult windowsill subjects. Instead, he recommends vigorous, adaptable hybrids like N. sanguinea, lowland N. truncata, or N. maxima hybrids (e.g., N. × miranda). Hybrids tolerate variable humidity and light better, growing faster and larger.

For detailed windowsill strategies, see the "Grow Carnivorous Plants" DVD Volume #3.

Good Growing!
