spge, if that is the case, the concept of humidity induced pitchering has to be revised ... but it is a good thing for every nepenthes lovers !
I did take a look at the temperature range. I believe you should be able to grow most of the nepenthes. Eventhough temperature rises up to 31 degree in daytime, you still experience a night temp of 16 degree. You can almost put all intermediate / highlander outside year round ! Of course lowlanders can grow pretty well indoors with heater during winter. Anyway, it is strange that low humidity do nothing about pitchering ...
The humidity level is really low here. The Humidity right now is around 50%, and it will be much lower in winter. However, all nepenthes keep pitching even though the Northiana, which is said to be one of the most difficult species.

spge, What is the temperature range in LA ?? Say, maximum and minimum temperature in summer and winter time ??
I bet the humidity level is a bit low indoors or else you will have fungal growths everywhere. If that is the case, how are the nepenthes growing ?? Stil pitching well or may have to be put inside containers ??
Please share with us your growing area and your collection if you have time !
