What it needs in your home

Aim for: A windowsill or grow light, plus night-time cooling and humidity.

  • 🌙
    Cool nights 52–61°F, about 11°F cooler than a typical home at night. A room or basement that cools off at night works, or a bright window in a cool room in winter; otherwise a highland chamber: an insulated grow tent or cabinet with a small AC unit or thermoelectric cooler on a night timer.
  • ☀️
    Days 70–79°F: normal room temperatures are fine.
  • ❄️
    Coldest it takes 40°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.
  • 💡
    Light Bright indirect light; good airflow
  • 🚰
    Water and soil Mineral-free only (rain, distilled, RO; TDS under ~100 ppm, ideally much lower); damp, not waterlogged; no tray. Pot it in long-fibre sphagnum + perlite, optional orchid bark.

Dormancynone (needs a nightly drop of 10-20F year-round)
Tom's: ~20-25C days / 10-15C nights, RH at least 50% by day and higher at night. California Carnivores: 70s-80s F days, 50-60s F nights, never below 40F or above 90F. NECPS allows nights down to the 40s F. Highland plants kept warm at night slowly decline.
Likely best temperatures. From its habitat at 1,800–2,200 m: days 21–26 °C (70–79 °F), nights 11–16 °C (52–61 °F). Wants nights cooler than most homes, every night of the year.
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.
