Sun Damage on Nepenthes 'Ventrata' After Moving Outdoors

Question: My Nepenthes 'Ventrata' developed red, dying centers on older leaves after a heat wave (93°F). New growth looks healthy. Is this sun damage?

Answer: Yes, older leaves show sunburn first during acclimation. Since new growth is healthy, the plant is fine. Move it back indoors for the summer to recover and produce new leaves/pitchers. Let the vine hang over the pot to stimulate basal shoots.

Happy growing!
