Tom's species pages: N. peltata (865-1635 m) 24-31C days / 14-21C nights; N. glandulifera (1100-1700 m) 24-30C / 14-20C. Most tolerant group; many hybrids grow here.
Likely best temperatures. From its habitat at 550–1,650 m: days 24–32 °C (75–90 °F), nights 14–22 °C (57–72 °F). Night temperatures in an ordinary home are close to its habitat.
Worked out the way Tom's Carnivores' Nepenthes calculator does it. An estimate: parentage, clone and how a plant was raised all matter, and plants often grow well outside it.
