We don't know its parents yet, so this goes by how Carnivero describes it: Lowland.

What it needs in your home

Aim for: A grow tent or terrarium with night-time warmth, humidity, and a grow light.

  • 🌡️
    Warm nights 70–77°F, warmer than most homes at night. A heat mat under the pot with a thermostat, or a terrarium or grow tent with a small heater set to about 70°F.
  • ☀️
    Warm days 81–95°F. A warm room or grow tent; grow lights add warmth too.
  • ❄️
    Coldest it takes 60°F. Keep it away from cold windows and doors in winter.
  • 💧
    Humidity 60–90%, more than most homes (30–50%). A terrarium, a grow tent with a humidifier, or a cabinet; or group plants on a pebble tray. It can get used to 50–60% if weaned slowly (see Bringing it home).
  • 💡
    Light Bright indirect light or partial sun; ~4+ h direct on a windowsill. Avoid harsh midday sun.
  • 🚰
    Water and soil Mineral-free only (rain, distilled, RO; TDS under ~100 ppm, ideally much lower); keep media damp but not waterlogged. No standing-water tray. Pot it in airy: long-fibre sphagnum + perlite, optional orchid bark.

Good to know: hybrids are usually more forgiving of household conditions than either parent.

Bringing it home

Can adapt, slowly Both parents are lowland. Many such hybrids get used to 50–60% if you follow the lowland steps; some only pitcher well in a terrarium.

It's a lowland plant, so acclimate it the slow way (Kenny Coogan's lowland method):

  1. Hold it at 100% until a new leaf opens. A new leaf means it has grown new roots. Use a dome for a small plant; put a larger one, pot and all, in a 2–5 gallon zip-lock bag.
  2. Keep it sealed for the first 2–3 weeks. Look in on it often, but don't open it.
  3. Then open it about ½ inch. Widen the gap every 5–7 days. Getting all the way to room air can take 1–3 months.
  4. Keep it warm the whole time. 75–90°F, and no long spells below 70°F. Steady warmth matters as much as humidity.
  5. Low to moderate light while sealed. Turn it up gradually once it's growing, and never put a sealed bag in strong direct light.
  6. Limp leaves mean the air got too dry, too fast. Close the bag back down a step. Rushing is the most common way these are lost.

Tom's: days ~30C / nights ~20C. Carnivorous Plant Nursery: 85-95+F days, low-70s F nights. NECPS is cooler (80-90F days, 60-80F nights). California Carnivores: never below 70F. Minimum is approximate; cold snaps can kill them.
