Hahaha I am so lucky where I live to be able to do it. The amount of greenhouses id need would be out of control these days 🤣. Oh this year was a good list, though not amazing seed sets from most but there was edwardsiana, trusmadinesis, veitchii M, lowii x jacquilineae, platychila, peltata x platychila and a few others. We will see how they go in the next month hopefully I get good germination rates.
Your in a great spot up there, any lowland species/hybrid would go perfectly outside. Lots of intermediate options too. Look for stuff with maxima, veitchii, truncata, ventricosa, ampullaria or rafflesiana in the mix. I think the only option I have at the moment that would suit well is maxima dark x veitchii, is fast growing and super easy with huge pitchers once it gets going
@Eat-Me-Exotics I bought 2 ventricosa and 2 maxima from Victoria, both ventricosa died within 3 weeks. Both maxima are still growing slowly. One is x rbv the other is x lbv. How much is your maxima dark including postage?
Thats a shame, usually ventricosa are very tough growing. There's a link below to my maxima x veitchii, I've sent this cross up your way before and I know they are going strong, one customer even had it in flower recently. www.eatmeexotics.com.au/shop/p/nepenthes-maxima-dark-x-veitchii-bario-striped
@alanbentham2836 not yet its on the table to be packed tonight and dropped at the post office tomorrow when I can finish work early. Just saves them getting stuck in the postal system over the weekend. You should have it wednesday/Thursday.
Growing Nepenthes outside sounds like a supernatural dream to me What cross did you do with the N. truncata?
