Subject: growing Darlingtonia

I have a cobra lily I bought at Home Depot growing in its original =
sphagnum moss
(some of which appears to be alive). The moss is giving birth to a lot of=
small
fly-like insects and the cobra lily has two pretty pitchers. It's growing=
under
a 1 liter beaker where the pouring lip allows for some air exchange. =
Light is
mostly from some fluorescents and nearby windows. The temp during the =
winter
will be 55-60 degF. I water the plant with distilled water when the =
sphagnum is
still moist.

I've read that the cobra lily can be tought to grow. Does this seem like
reasonable culture?

Thanks for any pointers.

Jim
