I don’t run a heat lamp, but I keep mine inside, nearish a window, and it never gets below 60F in my house (so about 15.5C). I water mine from the top, when I see water start to form in the rocks under it, I stop. I do that twice a week based on that “sponge” rule.
Ok I’ll give that a bash. Assuming it’s easy enough to Google the sponge rule. It’s currently 24c with sun. So I’ll see if I can get it a good soak. Not sure what it needs.
Here you go! “Nepenthes like being kept moist, not wet. Think of a moist sponge. They appreciate a well draining potting mix and dislike standing in water constantly. They should never be allowed to completely dry out. You can keep them in saucers of water indoors, but they must be allowed to evaporate in between waterings.” - https://redleafexotics.com/pages/nepenthes-care-guide.
