Nepenthes Not Pitchering in Bathroom: Light, Humidity Stability, Species ID

California grower's hanging Nepenthes in bathroom (stained glass ceiling, shower humidity, air movement) has blackening old pitchers, new ones abort. No saucer, kept moist.

Factors

  • Light: Needs very bright, near full sun. Bathroom light likely insufficient.
  • Humidity swings: Showers cause drastic RH changes—pitchers dry before forming.
  • No saucer needed (prefers moist, not wet).
  • Misting not required—stable environment key.
  • Species ID matters—some far more demanding.

Fix

Move to well-lit, stable spot; allow time to adjust.
