Well, it depends on the nepenthes. For the highland species, it's best to keep
the temperatures around 60-65 degrees, and for the lowlands, try to keep the
temperatures around 70-80 degrees. Also, make sure you don't mix up the
highland species with the lowland species, because the temperatures you keep
the lowlands in may be too high for the highlands to grow properly in.

The humidity is definately low. If you want to increase the humidity, spray
the plants. If that doesn't work, just fill the pitchers up with distilled
water, and that should keep the pitchers from dying. If you have any
questions, let me know.
