Derick's N. tentaculata 'Sulawesi Spotted' shows red on older leaves; others green. Conditions: greenhouse, indirect sun, 1:1:1 LFS/perlite/bark, RO water, MaxSea fertilizer biweekly, 60-80% humidity, good airflow. Also asks about Neem oil/sulfur fungicide on germinating Drosophyllum (dewy pine) seeds.
Nepenthes: Red coloration is normal for this clone; leaf burn shows dead spots. Greenhouse covering prevents excess light. Other tentaculata forms differ.
Drosophyllum: Never used fungicides on them. They need drier conditions—why fungal issues? Ideal humidity ~50%. Keep consistently damp when young, then slightly drier. Water by top-watering, leave tiny tray water; refill when pots dry slightly outside.
Good Growing!
