Even the highland ones? I know they don't go dormant, but as we both know, many plants slowdown during the winter. So would you say that if a Nep has ceased pitchering, then it is genuinely unhappy, as opposed to just in a slow period of a natural cycle?[b said:Quote[/b] (nepenthes gracilis @ Dec. 04 2005,2:46)]In their natural habitat Nepenthes never really stop pitchering unless there is a drought or something similar.
Steve, I know what you mean; they get more of a differential from day/night, as opposed to seasonal. Are they all that close to the Equator, so as to not have any appreciable seasonality?[b said:Quote[/b] (vft guy in SJ @ Dec. 04 2005,3:31)]Correct me if Im wrong, but I always thought that the tropics had a fairly consistant weather cycle. They dont have a "winter" with shorter days and colder temps... its pretty much the same year round. Highlands are able to take the cooler temps not because of "winter" but altitude.
