N. mirabilis low or high? -both?

[alec]

I have a ton of N. mirabilis 'red lip' seeds. I heard they are lowland, so they are in a heated tank right now, but i reallly want to grow them on my shelf (highland conditions)
i've also heard that the high/low depends on the clone/plant.
will raising them from seed in highland conditions make them more accepting of them?
should i just stick with the lowland tank?
Thanks

btw, if anyone wants to trade for seeds or seedlings...

Hi Alec,

N. mirabilis is a lowlander. I have not heard of it being successfully grown in anything other than lowland conditions, nor do I believe it would tolerate anything besides LL conditions. Plus, even highlander species seeds germinate well under warmer conditions, growing less tolerant of excessive warmth as they get larger.

thanks jimmy, i almost just sowed them in the rack anyway... you saved them haha

i have it growing in ultra highland just fine.

i have it growing in ultra highland just fine.

Really? For how long? That's pretty interesting; you are the only grower I know of who had N. mirabilis in HL conditions.

Alec, I guess you could sow some seeds in HL conditions as well, just to see how they do.

a couple weeks. it seems to be doing fine and has made 2 new pitchers

Hmm. Please let us know how that works out long-term, Adam. I'm curious to see how it does!

Mine are growing as lowlanders, in a heated fishtank, right under a Grolite.

It would be much more beneficial when discussing lowland/highland, ultra highland or whatever if you list actual day and night temperatures. People have different ideas exactly what they are so it is a generalization at best.

As for your N. mirabilis Adam, what are your actual temperatures? Lets have a look 4 months from now. Two weeks is not enough time in the slightest to claim it is growing just fine as an ultrahighland, and gives others the wrong idea.

my temps are 70-80 during the day and 45-55 at night. around 90% humidity all the time.
