A New Zealand grower’s N. alata and N. gothica in a north window grew vigorously but aborted tiny pitchers. They misted multiple times daily; bright morning light, gentle afternoon glow.
Jeff Dallas identified two issues: insufficient direct sun (pitchers are energy-intensive) and misting inhibits pitchering by creating a humidity seesaw. Stop misting. North/west windows best in Southern Hemisphere. In follow-ups, he confirmed household heating at night is fine, but curtains must stay open for direct sun. Moving plants deeper into a bright room fails—glass blocks 80% UV, intensity drops fast. He showed a photo of a Hawaiian grower’s sun-drenched Nepenthes for reference.
