Growing Highland Nepenthes at High Elevation: N. rajah, villosa, lowii

A grower at 6,200 ft in a semi-dry, warm temperate climate (rare frost) asks if N. rajah, N. villosa, N. lowii can grow outdoors easily. Hottest/driest months (Apr–May) could be spent indoors. Also, should divided Heliamphora go in a terrarium to recover?

Highland Nepenthes: Ideal Conditions

Jeff Dallas says this sounds perfect. Warning: watch for rare frosts (a Hawaii grower lost highland Nepenthes to a freak cold snap at 5,000 ft).

Heliamphora Division

• Extra humidity after division helps.
• If divisions have good roots, they usually do fine.
• Terrarium is a good idea until established.

Good Growing!
