Nepenthes stenophylla Leaf Yellowing: Too Much Sun, Acclimation Needed

NY grower: N. stenophylla 2 months, bare-root arrival, 4+ hrs direct sun east side, hot humid summer (95/80°F). Leaves yellowing, tips brown. Repotted 2:2:1 perlite:sphagnum:peat + Superthrive. Asked about terrarium vs window for cooler months.

Assessment

  • Likely too much direct sun outdoors – prefers dappled/shade.
  • Indoors in window fine; terrarium with lights also works.
  • Light fertilizing (DVD method) helps if no pitchers.

Resources

Volumes 1, 2, 3 DVDs purchased – good reference.
