Why Your Nepenthes Miranda Isn't Producing Pitchers

Diagnosing Missing Pitchers on Nepenthes

Loss of pitchers usually stems from a drastic humidity drop (humidity shock) or low light (starvation). If pitchers dropped quickly and none replaced them, it's humidity shock. If they faded slowly with no new growth, it's low light.

Solution: Increase Light

Add 40-watt cool white fluorescent shop lights, 12–14 hours daily, 4–6 inches from upper leaves. Nepenthes are tropical and will produce pitchers year-round with proper light.

Good growing!
