Hi Folks,

Last winter was a 10 year record cold spell. If memory
serves me the Carolina coastal plain experienced low temps
of 10 degrees F (-12 C). Inland we were a bit colder reaching
about -20 C. Plants (_Sarracenia_ and _Dionea_) which wintered
outside under a 2-4" layer of pine needles did well.

Now my question, what minimum nightly temperature do folks grow
their lowland _Nepenthes_ at during the winter?

Take care!

Jeff
