Default Macodes petola in a C/I tank

I have been researching and can't seem to find any info on what temperature range Macodes petola can tolerate. I see that it originates in warm conditions, but does anyone have experience growing it cooler? I just got two plants for my C/I tank (low of 55, high of 80) - should I take one of them out and keep it in a warmer terrarium just in case?

Also, any suggestions for terrestrials that like it cool? I'm not interested in Ludisia discolor, too big and weedy, but anything small is worth a try....

Well, currently the Macodes is very happy in the tank, leaves are healthy and new shoots are developing, current temps are around 60F night and 75F day with highs of 80. It will definitely go lower in the winter, so I will try to remember to update this thread in the winter (for posterity).
