Question
Is there somewhere a list with all the hardy and easy to grow neps that can tolerate lot of heat during summer and colder winters much like a mediterranean climate or the SoCal climate....with relatively low humidity??? Do you know any other than ventricosa, ventrata or khasiana? Maybe a lowland truncata? Others?
Thank you for any help!

Answer
Hello Paula,

N. sanguinea and N. truncata might be good candidates for your climate, however; you will want to keep the plants from being exposed to temperatures below 50 degrees as they are tropicals and will expire if much lower temperatures are encountered. You might try cobraplant.com to find a good list of Nepenthes that might be tolerant of your environment. In general, Nepenthes like temperatures no higher than 90 degrees. I have found that Nepenthes typically are plants that prefer a balance rather than an extreme in any one direction.
