- sanguinea ventrata ventricosa
100 is pushing it long term. However they should be able to handle one day of it - especially if you have them shaded during the really hot part of the day.
ventricosa and sanguinea are technically highlanders, though, so you want to avoid more than a day or two of those temps. They can take heat, like temps in the low to mid 90's, for a couple of days....and PROBABLY will be ok at 100, but I personally wouldn't push it.
Judith Finn, while it looks like a highlander based on it's parrents, I find grows better as a lowlander, so I wouldn't worry about that one.

I personally have a N sanguinea and N ventrcosa growing in lowland conditions and are doing great. N. ventrata I also have will grow in hot conditions also. These 3 types are very resilient and adaptable if acclimated properly to the heat. Also with high heat if you can keep humidity above 85%, they will tolerate the heat better. 100F is very high though. My greenhouse hit 98F for awhile this week before misters cut on. Usually day tetemps run from 86F to 92F(max).
