Welcome to the Forum!

I'm mostly a Drosera guy but I have had good results growing Nepenthes 'Ventrata' and N. 'Lady Luck' (AKA N. 'Bloody Mary') in a window under normal household conditions.
These two cultivars are fairly easy to find and not too expensive.

Good growing,
Mike

I agree with Mike, Mirandas are fairly forgiving and can adapt well to household conditions.

I know that you can put a tray filled with water and gravel underneath to keep the area humid.

Would I need extra artificial lighting?

I don't use any on my plants, but if your plants don't get bright sunlight for 14 hours a day in the summer I would definitely recommend it.

I have been growing N. 'Miranda' indoors in a sunroom for many years. If the light is good, as a few folks have said, it's practically a bulletproof plant! I mist mine occasionally, but it's probably not needed. Good light, however is needed for pitcher production in most cases. Hope this helps, and good luck.

Yeah it really depends on how much natural lighting the room gets. If you do need to supplement with artificial lighting, it won't need much.
