  • warm nights, ideally 70°F+ year-round (heat mat or warm grow tent)
  • humidity 60%+ (terrarium, grow tent or humidifier)
  • bright indirect light or a grow light
  • both parents are lowland, so it still wants warm nights and humidity

A cross of lowland and lowland parents; hybrids usually take conditions between their parents'.

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.
Likely best temperatures. Estimated for the cross from its parents' habitats, averaged as if from about 0–1,400 m: days 25–35 °C (77–95 °F), nights 15–25 °C (59–77 °F). Wants hotter days and warmer nights than most homes, plus high humidity.
Worked out the way Tom's Carnivores' Nepenthes calculator does it: the average of the parents' ranges, each parent passing on half. An estimate: parentage, clone and how a plant was raised all matter, and plants often grow well outside it.
