I live in Falls Church, Virginia (near Washington, DC) and I do grow
some of my lowland Nepenthes outside during the summer. I do not put
any plants out until the night-time temperatures stay above 55F. I grow
these plants in the shade of a tree. The plants grow well under these
conditions. I would not grow highland Nepenthes outside as the
temperatures (especially the night-time temperatures with a low of 80F
some nights) is too hot for the highland Nepenthes.
