Which sps HL or int?

[Mathijs]

Hello everyone,

quick intro; I’ve been into the carnivorous plants hobby for quite a long time now, but after a sort of ‘dip’ when I started uni (not at home a lot), I’ve picked up the hobby again. The unheated greenhouse is being used again for dionaea, sarracenia and drosera again, but my main focus lies with Nepenthes now.

I already have some terraria with HL nepenthes species in them, all of them kept at “cool” room temp, so no significant night drop (17-19°C at night). Most plants seem to manage okay, but growth has been slow for a lot of the species that grow on higher elevations in nature. No surprise there.

I am in the process of building a rather big, true HL terrarium now.

In short the idea is to build a multiplex terra with front sliding doors, the inside completely sealed with epoxy and cooling done by a recently purchased aquarium cooler connected to a CPU radiator with fans on the inside of the terrarium. The nighttime temp i am aiming for is 13-14°C.

As you can imagine, this raises a lot of questions…

… but as this is a plant forum I will start with a plant question! :)

Which one of the following plants would you put in the cooled terrarium and which ones would you keep in the more room-temp terraria? Are there highlanders that won’t like it too cold?

Here is a list: 

- alata true form

- aristolochioides

- burbidgeae

- burkei

- fusca

- glabrata

- gymnamphora

- inermis x tenuis

- jacquelineae

- jamban

- lowii x veitchii

- lowii x (veitchii x lowii)

- macfarlanei

- maxima

- petiolata

- robcantleyi

- spathulata

- spathulata x jacquelineae

- spectabilis

- vogelii

And coming soon:

- pulchra

- hamata

- inermis

- dubia

- ramispina

- flava

 

Many thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Mathijs
