Nepenthes Miranda Pitcher Starts Not Swelling: Weather and Light

N. Miranda from SNW ~1 year ago. Was lush with 20 pitchers, then winter hit. Now 2 ft vine, 8-inch pot. Trimmed yellow lower leaves. East window, good morning light. Green, healthy. Soil drains well, no odor. Distilled water every 3–4 days. 18–22 tendrils with pitcher starts but not swelling. Repotting issue? Humidity okay (other houseplants).

Diagnosis: Cloudy Spring = Low Light

Jeff Dallas: nasty, rainy, cold spring across Northwest. Even greenhouse Miranda just starting to pitcher. In east window with cloudy weather, not enough sun. Move to west window if possible; otherwise wait for weather change.

Good Growing!
