Oh, that’s very nice.
Hope to reach half of those Nepenthes under my veranda.
Don’t have enough room inside for the colder months 🤔

If you live somewhere not necessarily tropical but it’s mild, humid and frost-free you should definitely try Nepenthes outside. In winter the hardier intermediate/highland species and hybrids will normally slow down or just straight up stop growing, but they will typically pick up where they left off in spring.
Most of the Nepenthes I kept outside last year down here in Melbourne, Australia survived winter (including a few light frosts) in a sheltered location. The only casualty was Nepenthes ‘Suki’ and Nepenthes ‘Ventrata’ – the Suki just flat out died, the Ventrata’s main growth point died and it sent up half a dozen basals.
