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

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

I hear they like warm roots and appreciate a heat pad underneath, so far the black planter it’s 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 👀 I‘m tempted. Still traumatized from having to trash my Calathea recently 🙈

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