I believe that bicalcarata needs warm temperatures above 70 degrees fahrenheit and pretty high humidity above 70% at all times. Wish i had one.

Well, ive never grown it so im not positive, but i have heard that it will not pitcher properly in low humidity. Maybe someone that has grown it can shed some light on this.
