neps are tropical plants thriving from lowlands to highlands with varying temperature esp in the evening.

H/L neps will survive in lowland but the leaves and pitchers growth will be small,short and stunted. Too much lowland heat they will dry up and die.

Lowlanders can't take the cold H/L temp.

acclimatised for lowland neps to highland or the later to lowland conds doesn't help to make a healthy plant. They will survive but as i mentioned earlier will be small,short and stunted.

we grow lowlanders in the open natural conds but highlanders will need an enclosed greenhouse supported by misters and cooling air-cond unit and that mean having the $s to spend.
