Both of them are nice!!!! If have opportunity, want to keep their hybrid as well. Especially jacquelineae. As I know BE have pure N. jacquelineae for sale. But... not dare to try it...

Perhaps you can try N. tenuis instead? That one is more tolerant of lowland conditions and the pitchers are similar in shape. I hear that the price has dropped recently.

As for both jamban and jacquelineae, I've found that both species can take lowland conditions in the day if a temperature drop at night is provided, jamban will be happy with about 20C or lower while jacqueline prefers it cooler and more humid.

Don't know of any hybrids of either though.

korinthos, since you're in Tucson the cold weather should suit most highlanders.

you'll need an enclosure to accommodate your plant, and install a mister to provide the humidity.

I look at the weather report in your area. wow, you can grow a variety of the rare and famous from intermediate to highlanders.
