    Beautiful 馃ぉ looks like it would hate European climate though. How do you maintain humidity and temperature?

      It鈥檚 at ambient humidity and temperature on my windowsill. It鈥檚 quite dry here, maybe 20%?

      I hear they like warm roots and appreciate a heat pad underneath, so far the black planter it鈥檚 in seems to be keeping it warm enough. If I ever notice it reducing in dewiness I might try a heating pad though.

        20% humidity seems feasible 馃憖 I鈥榤 tempted. Still traumatized from having to trash my Calathea recently 馃檲

          Definitely read up on carnivorous plant care if you鈥檙e not familiar, they do have specific needs but many species can handle a bright windowsill!
