Cold Damage on Nepenthes ventricosa in Florida Winter

Leilani Hapu'u Nepenthes

A Florida grower's N. ventricosa (intermediate) in a hanging basket with an orchid shows one leaf turning black after record cold. Gets filtered sun, distilled water daily.

Diagnosis

Cold damage – temps in low 40s cause leaf edge browning. The orchid also looks stressed. Note: not all Nepenthes need shade; ventricosa does well with some sun. In Hawaii, Lelani Hapu'u Nursery grows most Nepenthes in mostly sunny spots.
