This is interesting to me [MENTION=10989]nimbulan[/MENTION] because I am currently trying to grow highlanders in lowland temperatures. The plants are recent arrivals and a macrophylla was DOA, but once planted, they seem to be doing okay. I haven't had a single night with temperatures under 25C since they arrived, though coming months should get cooler including a few weeks in Jan that are under 20C. But so far, with nights in the upper 20s I have at least one alisaputrana, several seedlings that are either jamban or jamban hybrids (more likely), sibuyanensis, among other highland/intermediate plants. Seedlings have germinated and are growing.
The weather hasn't cooled as much as usual this year for the monsoon, and I was panicking, but they seem to be growing. They do get fairly regular misting and good light, but not direct sun after 11am or so. Sphagnum, net pots - whatever I can do to lower temps and add humidity, but cooling isn't super effective when ambient humidity is high. Also a lot of cloudy days for the next month or two at least. While this gets humidity high (90%+ most of the time), it torpedoes any evaporative cooling, since the wet bulb temperature is quite close to the regular temperature.
I have not seen this curled leaf thing in my conditions. Some seedlings come close to looking like this, but most eventually form teeny tiny tendrils, as I discovered to my delight. The Jamban seedlings are inflating new pitchers. The alisaputrana is growing a new leaf with a plump tendril tip - too early to say if it will actually form a pitcher yet, but it is looking as it should. No major signs of stress. Only one that got majorly stressed was N. mira - it accidentally got neglected in the scorching summer and was placed in a location where it didn't get any cooling from the mist and several hours of direct sun. It didn't die, but.... it suffered badly. Limping back slowly.
Makes me wonder if good light, high humidity and very cautious fertilization can boost the ability of highlanders to tolerate lowland conditions. I'd say cooling, but frankly, what is a few degrees here and there for a plant that doesn't even get its natural daylight temperatures of night?
