Diagnosing Nepenthes Leaf Color Changes After Moving Outdoors

Yellow/Orange Tint = High Light + Cool Nights

The color shift is typical under bright light and/or cool nights. Your conditions (5 hrs direct sun, nights in 50s) are fine—many growers see a slight yellow tinge. Likely Nepenthes 'Alata' (a hybrid of alata × ventricosa), which tolerates full sun; leaves yellow but pitchers turn deep red. Shade only if temps exceed 80°F.
