Just wondering if I could grow my N.Alata and my N.Miranda inside on a windowsill. That way when the freezes come around I don't have to worry about my plants outside...

I understand that many Asian Nepenthes grow well as houseplants but i'm not sure if the Alata and Miranda are on there....

My nepenthes are on my windowsill and grow wonderfully. In the winter you may need to give them some artificial lighting and keep them away from the window if it gets particularly cold or excessively hot (to the point of boiling).
