I saw a Thailand grower having success in growing highland neps including aristolochioides and xtrusmadiensis with the method i've stated above. 
This way,i thought i can cut off almost 50% of the electric bill.If this works,i might try too but as usual i need the experts advice before starting. 
Thanx! |
im not quite sure what you mean by this question, and im no expert but i do grow highlanders...
What they need is the night time temperature drop, so if what you mean by cooling them, is getting the temperatures they are growing in to drop, then yes...but it needs to be a significant drop, not just a couple of degrees...26ºC(80F) Days, would need a drop to around 15ºC-18ºC ish. my highlanders get a drop to around 7-9ºC at night...
