Nepenthes 'Miranda' Stops Pitchering Outdoors in Pennsylvania

Strange Pitchers

A Zone 5 grower put highland N. miranda and ventricosa outside under a tree (filtered sun), watering every other day. After two weeks, leaves smaller, no pitchers. One ventricosa pitcher browned.

Analysis

Low humidity likely caused smaller leaves. Miranda (highland/lowland hybrid) has a warm-loving parent (N. northiana). Moving indoors to a west window where a lowland N. Red Dragon thrives is wise. Hybrids are generally tolerant; household temps suit many highlanders. Avoid moving back and forth.
