New Nepenthes Brown Leaf Tips: Normal Acclimation, Not a Problem

Minor Tip Burn on Recently Acquired Nepenthes

A grower's 3-day-old Nepenthes has dark brown tips on oldest leaf. Asked if it's serious.

Expert Reassurance

Jacob Farin: Nothing to worry about. Older leaves often discolor/dry/drop when plants acclimate to new environments. Plant overall is healthy: firm, shiny, brightly colored leaves.

Action

Leave plant alone. Give time to acclimate. Brown tips are cosmetic and permanent on those leaves; new growth will be adapted.
