Acclimating a New Nepenthes: Humidity Shock Recovery

Sudden browning after arrival = humidity shock. The nursery likely grew it in very high humidity.

Immediate Care

  1. Contact original nursery for their acclimation protocol.
  2. Bright window with indirect light (no strong direct sun for 2 weeks).
  3. Keep soil constantly moist.
  4. Accept that damaged leaves won't recover; wait for new growth.

Good Growing!
