Best windowsill neps

What do you guys think are the best windowsill neps?
 
depends on location, if your on the cool side instead of the ewarm side i would try x ventrata and N. bongso both have proved remarkably able to handle lower humidity for me. always try cheap hybrids first and go from there unless yah dont mind risking a $30 plus plant.
 
Normal temps are 70-75degrees 50% humidity around 60% if sprayed a couple times a day, so it is perfect for high landers. So far i have heard that the neps that do best in windowsills is N. alata, N. ventricosa, N. khasiana, N. ventrata amd N. bongso. i know most high landers will do well on windowsills but i want to know the ones that do better than others on windowsills.
 
for pure species that are extreamly showy(if yah like black flaired perisromes and burgandy/purple pitchers) your going to have a hard ime beating N. bongso(on the right) the other actually probably would do quite well too but you probably will have a hard time finding it and last i knew they werent cheap

The term 'windowsill' irritates me becuz of this: Because I can grow N. ampullaria as a 'windowsill' nep all year round, but could someone in, say california do that? I doubt so. So pls include your 'windowsill' conditions whenever you are talking 'windowsill', k?
 
Wow nice plants guys, i have been looking for a pic of a N. bongso, also hard to find for sale. Oh and Jason Wong, i did say my conditions it is my second post, right after i posted it i remembered that i dident post my conditions but by then someone already responded.

I dont think there's such a thing as the best nepenthes for windowsill growing. I have found growing nepenthes this way works very well with alot of hybirds and species.
