Hello Roman, First very sorry for taken so long in answering this question!  Now about your plans for your up-coming Cephalotus follicularis, Western Australia Pitcher Plants. I grow all my carnivorous plants in terrarium even Venus Flytraps but, the Cephalotus have done well in all my terrariums! I have found that keeping the roots of the plant cooler at night is key to a thriving and colorful plant! This plant need lots of light without the hot and been in one of the hottest states Texas I had to go with artificial lighting meaning fluorescent cool lighting, and I have A/C, 24/7 so much easier to control my terrariums. If you have A/C and a nd the next being a way to control the temperature in your home it will be easier to have great thriving plants in a terrarium. These things are a importent like good ventilation(75% closed top) working the levels of the humidity as well to (50-75%) and then great cool lighting( as many fixtures that will fit over the top of your planted terrarium. If you could let me know about that size and type of terrarium and number of plants you are planning for I can guide you with set-up! Thanks for asking me and let me guide you, for I so enjoy all my Western Australia Pitcher Plant. Have a great day and happy growing,  Dan (Daniel Lee Bowen)
