by day   by night   a typical home   the coldest it takes · for Cobra lily (Darlingtonia californica)
Outdoor plant Needs full sun and a cold winter dormancy; declines as a year-round houseplant.
  • cool roots: soil under ~80°F (cold water flushing in summer)
  • winter dormancy, cool to near freezing
  • bright light
Day60–80°F (16–27°C)
Night45–60°F (7–16°C)
Never below20°F (-7°C)
Humidity40–80%
LightBright light or sun on the leaves, but keep the roots shaded and cool
WaterMineral-free only (rain, distilled, RO; TDS under ~100 ppm, ideally much lower); cool water often (top-water daily in heat, or flow-through/chilled-water setups).
MediaOpen, well-aerated media: live sphagnum, or peat/pumice/perlite. ICPS says the medium matters less than oxygen and cool temperatures.
Dormancyyes, winter, ~3-4 months cool to near-freezing
ICPS: long-term survival needs soil kept below 27C (80F); air temperature and humidity matter little if the roots stay cool. CPN 52(3) names a consistently cool root zone as the most critical factor. Air ranges and the minimum are approximate.
