what are some good hardy beginner lowlanders that can be out side in new jersey from April to october ish, then become a window sill plant for the winter?
I think you want to look for more of an intermediate nepenthes because most lowlanders take hotter temperatures than you're likely provide in the winter, and possibly at night outside in the summers, to be truly happy. IMHO, you should look into all the nepenthes that flytrapshop has on offer because they'll probably do really well for you. I've had a ventricosa and sanguinea, like you're saying you will keep your plants, in Vermont and they did fine.
Yeah definitely an intermediate would suit you better. Most lowlanders wont be able to take a New Jersey April. The plant would need to adapt to the lower temps and humidity for a long time.
i would use a more airy mix with lfs/orchid bark or osmunda fiber in it...peat and perlite is generally too wet and compacts much too much to keep alot of neps happy.
dry lfs is what i would use in the mix anyway, well its only dry until you use it good luck and welcome to the forums too since idont think i ever welcomed you
