Tropical Pitcher Plant in 90°F+ Heat: Afternoon Sun Is Too Much

A Gresham, OR grower’s new Nepenthes (Portland Saturday Market purchase) in direct afternoon sun showed dried new growth during 90°F+ days. Kept moist.

Jeff Dallas: If indoors, pull back from hot window or intermingle with houseplants. If outdoors, partial shade is mandatory—afternoon sun is too intense. Water daily in heat; shallow tray okay short-term. Resume normal watering when temps return to 70s.
