Nepenthes burbidgeae 50% silica gel, 20% "Sphagnum" moss, 20% fir bark, and 10% peat moss chunks. The highest growth rates were exhibited by specimens in 50% leached perlite, 30% long fiber "Sphagnum" moss, 10% peat moss chunks, and 10% fir bark, as well as media without fir bark and with a higher percentage of "Sphagnum". "Nepenthes burbidgeae" was found to tolerate temperatures in the range of 9 to 41 °C (48° to 105 °F). A nighttime drop in temperature below 18 °C (65 °F) was necessary for good growth; plants that were not exposed to such a drop grew around 50% slower
