Nepenthes Bicalcarata and Ampullaria - Too Cold?

Hello again, sorry to be a bother but I have one more question:

You see, the area that I am currently keeping these plants drops down to about 70/75 degrees at night and rises up to 78/80 degrees during the day. Are these suitable temperatures for these plants? I also have a nepenthes bicalcarata x ampullaria which will be under these conditions too.

Other than that, does anyone have tips for growing these plants?

Please and thank you! :)

    these temperatures are fine for these plants, particularly ampullaria. The general rule for lowland plants is not to exceed 85-90 degrees. Too cold would be the mid to low 60s

    My N. ampullaria do just fine in a greenhouse that drops to 59 F at night in the winter. They grow faster in summer, but they continue to grow slowly and produce new pitchers all winter.
