I believe these plants are at home mostly in nutrient deprived swamps. They adapted the ability to devour insects to make up for the lack of nutrients in the soil. Thus, I would say that it would be more important to have the humidity than the high light because this is the environ that they originated in.

i dont quite understand. if the humidity is low, the tips will die and u have no pitchers. so i would give that a priority - but if there is too dark for growing plants, than bad luck. What do u mean by saying high light - you mean sun, or just perfectly enough light? Some Nepenthes hate direct sun, some will tolerate or like it, PROVIDED they have enough humidity. You cant probably get more light to the place where there is not much, but you can probably increase the humidity by making some kind of a closure at the place with lots of light - or is it not pssible? please tell us more about the conditions you have, or our advice will be actually worthless.
