Nepenthes rafflesiana Outdoors in Pennsylvania Summer? Yes.

Can N. rafflesiana grow outside in PA Zone 6? Summer 70s–80s day. Bring Miranda in at night—can rafflesiana stay out same conditions?

Expert Answer: Summer Yes, Winter No

Jacob Farin: rafflesiana is lowland—prefers warm nights (>70°F). Outdoors in PA summer fine (warm nights). Minor leaf imperfections possible. Miranda doesn't need nightly indoor move—grown outdoors in Oregon with 50°F nights. Bring both in when nights consistently <50°F.
