Hi all- I am a new member wanting to grow Nepenthes outdoors in South Florida.
I am in USDA Zone 10b (Greater Ft. Lauderdale area) and so far understand that I should limit myself to lowland species because of the lack of night time temp drops?
I am hoping to integrate a collection of Nepenthes along side some of my orchids- I understand that culture is similar (with the obvious exclusions). I was actually hoping to make contact with other folks growing these plants outdoors in this climate or locate a club nearby- any ideas?
I am also hoping for some species recommendations, and a general guide to outdoor culture specifically- any websites or books you could suggest would be most helpful.
I have yet to purchase any CP's but since I have been researching them I am now wondewring what in the heck took me so long to discover them!! They seem fascinating plants and I look forward to enjoying a rewarding new family of plants- as soon as I am able to discern which species I am best able to provide for.
