First Nepenthes ‘DeRoose’s Alata’: Needs More Light, Not Bathroom Humidity

A grower’s Nepenthes ‘DeRoose’s Alata’ (common vigorous hybrid) in north light shows red stems/spots, no pitchers. Considers moving to bathroom near shower.

Give Direct Sun, Not Bathroom Humidity

Plant looks healthy. #1 reason for no pitchers: insufficient light. Place in west/south window with 3–4 hrs direct sun. Bathroom humidity won’t fix light deficit. Read our Southeast Asia Pitcher Plant guide and compare.
