Hello friends,
Due to limited living conditions, and a burning passion for highland nepenthes, I've decided to invest in a chest freezer, which I am currently in the process of converting into a (ultra) highland chamber, much in the way of Mr. Schafer.
I have ordered an embarrassing amount of highlander plants, which will all be shipping this spring, 4 of which I have already received.
In my pursuit to provide the best possible conditions for these lovely plants, I would greatly appreciate any input on which temperatures and lighting conditions I should aim for, and considering not every one of these species has the exact same requirements: Is it even possible to grow them all in the same freezer?
The species are as follows (pls don't judge )
The ones that have been delivered already:
tl;dr: Which of the listed plants/seeds will do well in a chest freezer highland chamber, and what middle ground nighttime temperature should I aim for? 50-55F?
