However, pls don't misunderstand that the plants will also need to be shaded, actually most N. mirabilis and it's variants grow best in full direct sun when it's mature. Please remember to do this step by step, if not you might hurt the plants when you suddenly move them to full direct sunlight.
eeemmm... any one know what others nepenthes plant that require their pitcher hide from sunlight in order to get their potential color? Beside N. mirabilis var globosa.

As I know from Robert, some of ampullaria and some mirabilis need so... Now, come to question, which amp and mirabilis need so?how we know that?

Tan, sorry for out of topic...
