Window Light for Drosera capensis, Nepenthes, and Pinguicula

A grower with an 8-hour direct-sun window asked if it suits Drosera capensis, Nepenthes 'Deroose Alata', N. × miranda, and Pinguicula moranensis.

Assessment

Excellent for sundew and Nepenthes. Both thrive in bright, direct light. N. × miranda and 'Deroose Alata' will color up and pitcher well.

Caution for P. moranensis. In such intense light, position it slightly behind the others or use a sheer curtain to diffuse. Mexican butterworts prefer bright indirect light; full south/west sun can bleach or burn them.

General Tip

Monitor leaf color: red/purple = good light; pale green = increase light; bleached/white patches = reduce intensity.
