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 1,000–2,700 m: days 19–30 °C (66–86 °F), nights 9–20 °C (48–68 °F). A night-time drop of a few degrees helps; a cooler room at night suits it.
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.
