What cp's would be best for a bright windowsill with 37% humidity?

I already have a nep that's starting to grow a new pitchers on that windowsill.

VFT's are pretty tolerant of low humidity.

Some droseras are okay too!

Most CPs can live there as long as you mist it to keep some humidity.

Cool! If you are misting it that should raise the humidity around the plant quite a bit.

Can you put a pic of your sill? lol

It looks like this:

I have my Nepenthes maxima there.

Note: the nep is on a wooden pedastal now.

Yeah, you've showed me that one before

.

A lot of Butterworts (Mexican) do well (I think) in low humidity areas.

37% ? Wattch out for that nep brother, I know that those are tolerant but a big majority if not all neps need a humidity of 60% approx or above. Pings definately would be a good choice. For vfts, they are pretty tolerant too! As long as their soils stay moist: )

Actually, the nep's new pitcher is inflating.

It is N. maxima.

It is fairly tolerant of lower humidity.

I mist it twice a day which is probably why the pitcher is inflating.

My pinguicula are thriving despite low humidity. I'd recommend Mexican varieties because you can still see their beauty during dormancy (they have a different dormancy to temperate (or European) varieties).

You can also plant them in a huge array of dishes that other carnivorous plants wouldn't approve of -- like abalone shells or ceramic bowls.

Thanks!

I don't know much about pings.

Would a small terrestrial utric be good?

Terrestrial Utricularia aren't a bad plant to grow. I've read they require at least 40% humidity, however mine grew quite well with lower. As long as it's kept wet, with occasional flooding and provided lots of sunlight you shouldn't have a problem.

The plant I have is a Utriculara Sandersonii, very easy to grow.
