Nope. My previous success at Nepenthes germination was I think the
result of using an aquarium heater in a bottle of water inside my
fishtank terrarium. High heat and humidity. I've since removed that
because of lack of space and getting tired of filling the bottle up,
so my heat and humidity are down.

I've had mixed results with D. petiolaris. IMHO, the ONLY media to
grow this in is pure live spaghnum. Then it will do well under lights
or outside. I have both, and the flower stalk plantlet I have inside
is much less vigorous than the plant I have outside.
I do think that air movement is important, and at one time entertained
the idea of getting a very small fan hooked up to a solar cell in my
terrarium. I was hoping that my lights would power the solar cell.
Hmmm. I guess I could make money by selling a small fan/thermostat
assemblage that would stick on the inside of terrariums... Hmmm....
