Matt (New Orleans) bought a pitcher plant at orchid show (June 1). Asked if it can stay outdoors in hot humidity, whether to add water to pitchers. Hanging under trellis on south side, rotating, daily watering unless rain.
Pitcher
Jeff Dallas: Location is fine for summer. Plant is Nepenthes "deRoose's Alata" (N. (alata × ventricosa) × alata)—vigorous, great beginner plant. Stays out until temps approach 40°F (late fall), then bring indoors. If pitchers lost fluid in transport, add water once—new pitchers make their own; rain naturally fills them (lids exclude most).
Good Growing!
