 This is N. sibuyanensis x Trusmadiensis I have seen the virtues of growing plants out of the greenhouse. Not everything can be grown fantastic, but from what I have seen in the tropics compared to persons growing theirs in "ideal" growing conditions, I can safely say that nepenthes are sun-loving plants.  This is N. sibuyanensis x truncata squat  This is N. ramispina x truncata and  N. Dyeriana in full sun and exposure to very windy conditions, note somewhat beat up pitchers, yet they are produced with more rigidity and firmness. M |

M,
Glad to see the dyerianas outdoors and doing well for you. I'm trying to adjust one to my highland conditions. It stressed during winter but made it so far. With the warming months I'm hoping it will lay down a nice root base and do well. Once established, the outdoor plants do take a lot of sun and can withstand quite a lot. If I miss a pot watering, the weeds die but the Nepenthes are still living! Nice plants as always Rainforest.

The Dyeriana is from you. It took a while for them to acclimate even here in Hawai'i, but I can safely say they love the sun, heat and winds. I will post a shot of a plant out in the horrid sun growing on a cement tile wall. It is amazing how hot that wall gets during the afternoon hours. yet the pitchers have become rigid and sturdy.

My Dyeriana arrived as a 2 node cutting, which months later, is finally making its first pitcher. Is it just me, or is this reallllly slow for a lowlander?
