Can Nepenthes Get Too Much Light in a South Window?

Factors

Species tolerance and temperature. Cooler temps allow more light. In fall/winter, windows are cooler, so higher light is safe.

Watch for leaf burn (large brown patches). In south windows, burn rarely occurs in fall/winter—mostly a west-window summer issue.

Good growing!
