Beth,
What I have found is tht Nepenthes are very flexible on their
humidity requirements. I keep my Nepenthes in my windowsill
where the humidity is quite low and they do very well. I have
found that Nepenthes I have to be very easy to take care of.
I usually flush them with distilled water in the morning and
give them a spritz in the afternoon. I've found Nepenthes much
more flexible on humidity than other CPs such as VFTs. I've
found that VFT will not thrive in a windowsill without high
humidity (ie humidity dome).
Dave.
