Heliamphora like very high humidity, bright light and at least cool/
cold nights. I just keep mine cool all the time. The rhizome
should be at soil level so that the bottom half is resting on the soil
and makes good contact with the surface. The top half needs to be able
to receive light; often the leaves shade it, but some light should still
get to it. You'll have to wait until all new leaves grow again for it
to look happy. Once a leaf is damaged, it stays damaged.
