Shade Cloth for Lowland Nepenthes in Florida: 50% to Start

A Florida zone 9 grower built a shade house for lowland Nepenthes with white vinyl top. Asked about the dark screen cloth seen on Sarracenia Northwest's greenhouse sides.

Source and Specs

  • Bought at Lowe's/Home Depot (bulk or packaged).
  • Use 30–50% shade cloth.
  • Start with 50%—easier to reduce than to fix sunburn.

Side cloth reduces intense lateral sun. Adjust based on plant response.
