Nepenthes rafflesiana Health Check: Temperature, Light, and Humidity for Young Plants

Key Factors

1. Temperature: Nights must stay >70°F (21°C). Cool nights cause leaf imperfections.
2. Light: South window in fall/winter gives more direct sun than west. Move back to south—red color indicates good light.
3. Humidity: Young plants need acclimation time. Keep soil very moist; enclosure only if air <20% RH or AC used.

Acclimation Note

"Burned" pitcher was likely humidity shock—unavoidable. New growth in proper conditions will be healthy.
