Are these temperature okay for a cephalotus?

Hello I am curious if daytime temps of 75f and night time temps of 60f is okay for a cephalotus. I see people keeping them with higher temps so I'm not sure if this will allow them to be healthy. any help is appreciated.

That should be perfect. They can handle higher temps, but they don't really need them, and if it gets particularly hot (90+ F) they need cool nights or they'll suffer. Researchers grew them successfully at constant temperatures of both 77F and 59F as part of an experiment to see what made them grow carnivorous vs non-carnivorous leaves, and the only difference at the lower temperature was that they didn't produce traps (which is obviously not good for the home grower, but it means that your temps certainly won't hurt them).
