Massive Nepenthes 'Miranda' No Pitchers: UV-Blocking Glass and Transplant Shock

A grower’s large Nepenthes (likely ‘Miranda’) in a south/west window produced only aborted pitcher buds. Recent repot into large pot with peat/sphagnum/orchid bark.

Jeff Dallas: ‘Miranda’ needs lots of sun and warmth—leaves should show reddish tinge. Yours is green. UV-blocking window glass can prevent pitchering. Recent transplant also delays pitchers. Try a sunnier window or hang outside in partial shade for summer.
