Nepenthes 'Miranda' Leaf Growth Without Pitchers: Light Deficiency Solution

Abundant leaves but no pitchers = insufficient light. Winter short days halt pitchering even in bright windows. Solutions: south/west unobstructed window, supplement with T5HO/LED to 12-13 hour photoperiod, maintain >60°F, avoid moving/misting. Reddish leaves indicate adequate light. Consistency is critical.
