Would an indoor terrarium for highland Nepenthes be easier than an indoor greenhouse in the context of cost, and space? I am leaning more towards a terrarium because it is smaller, and terrariums can be found for a low price. But a pro of a greenhouse is that it can hold larger plants.

What I've learned in having an indoor greenhouse is that the more corners you cut the more it will cost in the long run. This applies to everything. So while it may be cheaper to buy and run a terrarium now, you will most likely end up buying an indoor greenhouse or another terrarium, because you ran out of space. Just remember that each one of them will have its own set of challenges, for example my indoor greenhouse is having difficulty keeping humidity up, while the cooling is running.

For what it's worth, I'm switching to a full outdoor greenhouse when the time is right!

Me too, you could get a couple hundred dollar green, I bet that would be okay because that is the price for one rare nepenthe.

What would be a good light to grow highland Nepenthes in a greenhouse? I am planning to buy the 4 tier mini greenhouse because it can hold more plants then a terrarium.
