Nepenthes chaniana x veitchii Leaf Burn After Moving Outdoors

Weylin's N. chaniana x veitchii (in a ceramic bowl) developed brown leaves outside. He clipped the damaged leaves and asks if he should bring it inside.

Sunburn—Give It More Shade, Not Less Light

Too much sun too fast. The damage is done on old leaves, but new growth will be tougher. Keep it outside with more shade until acclimated. Bringing it inside resets the process—new indoor leaves will be soft again. A little fertilizer now helps recovery.

Good Growing!
