Help with nepenthes


AverageBeginner

Recommended Posts

So i just got my first nep. The previous owner said it was in a porch, no indirect sun. I'm kind of afraid of my grandmother accidentally watering my nep with tap water. So maybe i should bring it inside? I'm planning to put it in our dining room, the door is always opens during the day and gives it a "windowsill" kind of light. Should i do it? Do you have any tips and tricks? Is there any tricks this plant has up its "Sleaves"?

Hello. Some species like more light than others but, in general, some direct sunlight is good if the humidity is high. Try it on the windowsill for a couple of months and see how it does. A windowsill with a few hours of light in the morning or evening would be best. Good luck!

It can take a month or two for them to show that the conditions have improved. Choose a spot with some direct sunlight and wait to see how it does for a couple of months. If there is no improvement, try somewhere else for a couple of months. Patience is the key to success!

It had direct sunlight for exactly 6AM-8AM(only on sunny days). I was leaving home and tasked my sister to do the job of watering it. Root rot's always gotta be there. Currently trying to recover my nep by propagating it. It's a cheap ventrata i got for 2 bucks, so no biggie if it didn't succeed.
