Nepenthes Pests: Thrips, Scale, and Red Spot Fungus on ventricosa/sibuyanensis

Twisted leaves + red spots = likely thrips or scale. Orthene (systemic) helps but acts slowly. Supplement with Neem oil for faster contact kill.

N. sibuyanensis Care

• Cool nights (<65°F), high humidity.
• Best in live or dried sphagnum moss.
• Tolerates warm days if nights are cool.
