Temp drops!

cheapest isnt the best. frozen water bottles wont work for large plants. the cheapest way that will give you the best results takes some effort and injinuity on your part. you need a small AC unit, some PVC(or some sort of other piping) piping to pipe the air from the AC unit into the tank. some where before the air enters the tank you must rehumidify it tapping a small room humidifier into the pipe should work. the whole set up i could probably do for around $175USD and have a very effective set up. that would work for a fairly large grow chamber.

Just stay away from the ultra highlanders like N. villosa, N. aristolochioides and the like, or the ultra-lowlanders like N. northiana. Also, just about any hybrid would do fine.

I'm surprised, my northiana gets down to 10/12 ºC every winter without trouble and down to 15 for many months. In fact I think it grows better when it's not too hot.

some excellent plants there. just so you know there are both lowland and highland forms of N. veitchii. N. veitchii x lowii is an awesome hybrid that i hope to add to my collection this summer. N. sibuyanensis is another very cool plant. i currently have a small one
