If you can keep the plants you have right now happy, you should be fine with N. hamata and N. edwardsiana. N. edwardsiana doesn't want temperatures that are too cold, it's more of a highlander than a true ultrahighlander; nights around 55-60F appear to be optimal for it.

Ok thanks SerMuncherIV! I'll just keep the thermostat at 55 since that seems to be the magic number for growing highland Nepenthes in general.

Its a flytrap store pot upside down with the thermostat sensor taped on top. I placed it there so that it can get an accurate reading.

Yes, it is a BE clone from Native Exotics. For me, it is quite slow. I recieved it in May and it has only grown three entire leaves but as shown in the pictures, there are significant leaf jumps even without fertilization. Pitchering is soo slow though...

Figured I'd bump this-- wondering how it's doing now.

Everything going well, I presume?
