I have no idea! Certainly the upper temperature limits will differ from
species to species, and even from clone to clone. Its probably best to
consider outdoor cultivation of CP in AZ as "experimental".
Yes, a temp-controlled greenhouse would certainly help. Might not get
cold enough to grow Drosera arcturi or highland Nepenthese though.
