Hi Jan,
I was away from computers all weekend, so maybe I'm a little late getting back. Spring is here, and Michelle and I have been working hard at repotting both the Sarracenia and Neps in the greenhouse. We have hundreds of Sarrs. that need to be moved up to bigger pots.
N. Gentle really likes our winter conditions with nights consistently down in the low to mid sixties, and warm days in the low eighties (degrees F). The only problem winter brings is occasional low humidity that may blast the traps. Also, cold fronts with temps down into the forties and humidity at about thirty percent and a fifteen mph wind with gusts doesn't help either. But those are temporary. N. Gentle has its hardest time in summer when days are in the high nineties and nights cool down to about 82 F! Not exactly highland conditions-not even intermediate! We find the best thing to do with highlanders (the heat tolerant ones) is to keep humidity high(not too difficult in summer) combined with gentle air movement-especially at night. During the summer, I will wet down the floor of the greenhouse at sunset and let the fan blow air out the top, creating a convection current that seems to help.
Anyway, give a call if you want to stop over-there's lots to see right now.
