now I think the highland species of Nepenthes don't have to suffer during=
summer. I am cultivating a lot of highlandsp. in an earth-greenhouse (it =
is
1,5 m in the ground). so I can keep the temperature lower in summer.
Nevertheless the temperature rises sumetimes up to 33 =F8C. But most of t=
hese
species tolerate this - if the night temperature is low enough!
My N. tentaculata is one of the Nepenthes, which tolerate higher temp.!
The main-problem, so I think is the lack of light in winter. In this time=
my
highland and lowlandspecies suffer!
