Sunlight needs for Nepenthes distillatoria


Question
Hi! :D
I recently bought N.distillatoria and was wondering if N. distillatoria needs direct sunlight?

If it would help, I live in a tropical country :)  

Thanks in advance!

Answer
Hi Catz Sy,

Like most Nepenthes they will do best in partial sun.  If you can find a location where the plant gets intermittent light such as near trees or shrubs, that works well.  It they are in full shade, the plant often won't make pitchers, so you want some direct sun, just not all day.

Good Growing!
