I'm fairly new to the carnivorous plant life (an amazing few months since last September) so none of my plants have completed an entire cycle of seasons in my care. They are doing great so far and the oldest plants only have summer left to experience which is the time of year I am most worried about. My indoor plants are going to be fine but it's my temperate plants and intermediate neps outside that I'm worried about. I'm in zone 9a and its dry air most of the year with high temps during the summer. I want to know if anyone could share with me their methods of keeping their plants cool during the hot part of the year especially for my intermediate neps outside.

Thank You

You might get more answers if you post in a different section and not the Fly Trap section. I don't grow nepenes so I can't help. Maybe pm Hollyhock or Boarderlib and see if they have a answer for you. Image
