Nathan bought a pitcher plant (red top, green bottom) 5 months ago. New pitcher formed, but half of existing pitchers turning brown; leaves fine. Moved indoors Nov 13, hanging from ceiling. Rain water, no direct noon sun, morning sun ok. Asks temp/humidity needs and if this is normal for November.
Jeff Dallas: Losing pitchers is normal when bringing Nepenthes home—adjusting to new temp/humidity. This is N. × deRoose's alata (N. alata × ventricosa)×N. alata, a durable hybrid. Keep in sunniest window (glass blocks UV, unlikely too bright). Soil moist, no standing water. See caresheets and Volume 3 DVD.
Good Growing!
