Ok, summers can get in the hundred degree range, and winters go far below thirty... at both times of year, night temperatures are signifcantly cooler... In the summer, it is NICE outside, and in the winter, it is biting cold INSIDE...
So. For highlands, I hvae excellent winters (indoors, obviously), because they have bearable temps during the day, then at night, BRRR.... Helloooo villosa! This winter, shall I show you a picture of what my lowlanders will look like? Not too hot...
In the summer, the swelltering heat, and drinkalbe humidity makes keeping lowlanders seem like they should be planted outdoors, but highlanders (altho night temps drop, day temps are still unbearable by highlanders) will croak to pieces...
I am thinking... It is probably easier to keep highlanders in a tank in the the summer, and in the winter, with the aid of humidifier, let them grow free in my house, special ones left in the tank for better control of course...
How do I keep a lowland tank in the winter? How do I make a highland tank cooler in the winter? How do I do this on a budget (well that question ruined all your ideas, didnt it?)? What neps do u suggest I keep? Please don't say ventricosa, alata, rafflesiana, etc... I want some rarer plants... You now... expanding my collection...
Thanks alot...
