Lady Luck should be able to grow anywhere from LL through HL. It's a popular windowsill grower. What temps and light is it getting? Any photos?

It stands on my window sill (north east )
Its a really hot spring this year so i have it in a spot where it gets about 2 hours of full sun
I saw that the temperature in the sun was about 34 C
But when the sun go' s away 2 hours later it gets to about 28 C
So i think i informd u wrong i think i grow it like lowland
Because it doesnt get alot of a temperature drop

But here are my conditions :
Light: 2 hours of full sun later just indirect light.
Humititie: the Humititie is around 40- 60
Soil: it stand in a 8 cm pot, and in peat


I had some problems before with my N lady luck in winter it grow really fast and now it grows like a leaf per 2 months so im kinda worried
I also moved it to much so i think i really mest up a 2 month ago it begon growing again because i placed it in a small greenhouse but it got to hot in there

So i placed it back where it now stands
Here are some picture

28 C is a bit warm for the low. That's more ultra lowland. It would also explain why it does better during the Winter. It looks fairly healthy but if the leaves continue to decrease in size it's not happy.

I grow mine outside - we are intermediate in winter and lowland in summer. It seems to do best in between - a little warmer than winter and cooler than summer, but it's fine all year round. I would not expect it to like highland conditions.

I believe Lady Luck likes to grow in Lowland to intermediate conditions? Check this out: Nepenthes Altitudinal Distribution
