Needs a controlled setup Usually needs a terrarium, grow tent or cooled/heated space.
  • nights 10-20°F cooler than days, ideally below ~60°F (a cool room or a home that drops at night)
  • humidity 50%+ helps; many acclimate to less
  • dislikes days over ~85°F
  • growers count it among the fussier species in its group

Grows at 1,400–2,500 m in the wild.

WaterMineral-free only (rain, distilled, RO; TDS under ~100 ppm, ideally much lower); damp, not waterlogged; no tray.

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 1,400–2,500 m: days 20–28 °C (68–82 °F), nights 10–18 °C (50–64 °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.
