Answer
Hi Kevin,

Nepenthes x "Miranda" is a great choice for a houseplant if you have a big window for it.  They get quite large.  They don't really need much of a nighttime cool down.  They definitely prefer it warm.  The best locations in your area would be a West or North window.  4-5 hours sun is ideal.  Here's more information on growing Nepenthes:  http://www.growcarnivorousplants.com/Articles.asp?ID=266

Good Growing!
