edwardsiana as a houseplant?
 
I imagine you'd have problems with dubia as a houseplant because it needs those severe night time drops (mine had probs inside), but the rest of those I'd grow in my house if I had them and nice windows. N.thorelliXcampanulata made a nice window plant too, as did chanianaXveitchii and Exotic Lady (and ditto on the Red Leopard!) :-D
 
My faves....

N.truncata (LL or HL)

N.ventricosa

N.sanguinea

N.miranda (needs tons of light)

You have one growing well as a houseplant? Do you have a standard temperature household? Do you do anything special for humidity? It wouldn't surprise me if the plant wasn't THAT picky it's just that, for me, that would be a lot of money to risk letting it acclimate to my house... Tell me more.

Mine are all growing great in the windowsill:

N. miranda x (?)
N. sanguinea
N. ventricosa
N. splendiana x (rokko x stenophylla)

Windowsill growing is the best!

I grow under grow lamps, but certainly not high-humidity at all. N. x Lady Pauline did excellent on my windowsill for several years though.

Anything from EP (Exotica plants)
Is it OK to mention EP here? They're wholesalers, not retailers, so I figured it would be alright.

x ' Marbled Dragon'

That sucker rules.
