I'm thinking about getting another nep and I'm wondering what might do well on a west facing windowsill? 3-5 hours of afternoon sun a day, pretty high humidity. Any help is appreciated!

I love sundews.

Nepenthes "ventrata" and N. "Lady Luck" (aka N. "Bloody Mary") are two popular hybrids, easily obtainable that flourish under a variety of growing conditions. Either should be happy in your window. That's my two cents worth.

Good growing,
Mike

I agree. I grow several Ventratas, and Lady Luck, and they all do great in windowsills. You might also try N.Miranda too. Mine do great in windows as well.

I doubt that you would have much problems with any of the common highlanders in a west window. West and south Windows seem to be best choices for Windows.
