Asian Pitcher Plant and Sundew Struggles in Michigan Window

Grower in Jackson, MI has Asian pitcher plant (lost 3 pitchers, no new ones) and Drosera adelae (dried up, red leaves) after ~1 month. Both get ~7 hrs south window sun. Sundew in 2" water, pitcher kept moist. Using RO water.

Nepenthes: Normal Acclimation. Drosera adelae: Too Much Light/Heat

Nepenthes often drop pitchers when moved. Give it months to acclimate.

D. adelae prefers mild temps and light. Your south window is too intense. Move to bright filtered light (no direct sun). Recovery takes months. For hot sunny windows, try D. scorpioides, D. filiformis, D. multifida, or D. 'Marston Dragon'.

Good growing!
