Growing Nepenthes alata x ventricosa on a Chicago Porch

Question: I have a new N. alata x alata x ventricosa hanging on a NW-facing porch in Chicago (bright light all day, 3–4 hours direct sun). Will this work?

Answer: Yes, that lighting is excellent. With current warmth and humidity, the plant will grow rapidly. Just water frequently—soil dries quickly in warm weather.

Happy growing!
