Default Humidity and Temp Cycle Necessary for L/L?

Hiya Fellow Nep'ers-

Okay, we all know that all living things need a day and night cycle, including plants (well maybe except fungusus(s) and really deep water animals), so for most of us that have a plant terrariums have placed our lights on timers.

But my question is, for a plant to be healthy and grow vigrously, does the temp and humidity also need to go up and down daily?

I understand that a plant can burn itself out photosyntheticaly eventually (I mean it will grow fast at first but then it will tire itself out) if the lights are kept on 24/7.

But will a lowlander, specifically a bical, a species that is normally found in hot, humid swampy areas require drops in temp and humidity? If so, how much of each? I can't pitcher (get it, pitcher instead of picture ) that they both go down that much, that it would be necessary to change anything.

Any info, experiences or wisdom that can be imparted would be greatly appreciated.

Good Growing Everyone
