Hi Folks:
I agree, this has been an excellent discussion of Darlingtonia cultivation. The cultivation differences between the successful growers are significant and I am very curious to see what the biological basis for these differences are. Hopefully, an understanding of these phenomena will lead to more successful cultivation of Darlingtonia on the east coast of U.S.
I can tell you that outside cultivation of Darlingtonia in wet or moist sphagnum has been unsuccessful here. Perhaps our problem is bacterial or fungal pathogens not found or active in the areas where other growers have been successful.
Keep up the good work and keep us posted.
Sincerely,
Phil Sheridan Meadowview

I wanted to follow-up with some a couple of photos of our plants during summer. This is a photo page where we discuss humidity with a couple of our Darlingtonia pots and other plants. cobraplant.com/gallery/Humidity/humidity.htmlJeff Dallas Sarracenia Northwest Eagle Creek, Oregon

Temperatures in the greenhouses top 100F on sunny days. Wow, daytime gets pretty hot! How much does it cool down at night? I would assume rather significantly? Sorry if you covered this already, but I didn't see any mention of nighttime temps.

Night temperatures would be a lot lower. In high summer I imagine 60s F once the houses have cooled. I've never really measured the temperature in the trays at night.
