Nepenthes Yellowing and Red Spots: Light Adaptation and Thrips Check

Increased sun exposure causes yellowing and red spots in Nepenthes—often normal. Inspect leaf undersides with hand lens for thrips (tiny elongated insects causing red stippling). Weak orchid fertilizer (¼ strength) biweekly and bug feeding boosts health. Top-watering and partial sun (morning/late afternoon) are appropriate.
