Well, I found my apartment.
My new address will be 4530 E. McDowell RD. #288
Phoenix AZ 85008
Name is: Michael Chamberland
The place has a fairly large balcony facing east south-east. It also
has an average sized window in the same direction. I should be able to
grow a good number of CP outside on the balcony year-round, but the
space must be shared with my cactus collection. My orchid collection
will probably get the inside window. I pay my own utilities so I don't
expect to do much growing under lights: it gets too hot. I will
probably grow all/most of my Nepenthes indoors under lights, as they can
take the high heat indoors (and not the winter cold outdoors). I have
already donated most of my larger Drosera (capensis, binata, adelae,
etc.) to the Desert Bot Garden where they are being used in the propaga
tion greenhouse for whitefly/fungnat control. I will probably give them
most of my pings too, as these work like yellow pest strips in catching
whitefly. The greenhouse is all airconditioned, has lots of space, and
is great for CP. (I can always get leaf cuttings and start over with
these plants if I want ;-) On my balcony I will make an attempt to keep
up a collection of pygmies, AZ time-zone-converted tuberous, and a few
niceties like Drosophyllum, Cephalotus etc. Indoors I think I can still
keep a decent Nepenthes collection. The apartment is a one-bedroom; in
bicycling range of the Des. Bot Gar. I will be in by Feb.
