Re: Hi, Boon from pg
I have a pot of N. xVentrata that's shaded by some larger Neps. plants, it produces bigger pitchers & are more reddish in color.
A larger plant that's exposed to more direct sunlight almost all day long grows robustly, producing plenty of pitchers but the all dry-up very fast. This plant is quite big, approx. 15 feet high, so unless I trim it, I can possibly move the pot to a more shaded position.
So I believe, more shaded condition helps N.xVentrata produce more crimson-like pitchers that'll last for quite a long time. Direct sunlight would cause a gangly- growth & pitchers that dries up real fast.
Just my 2-cents worth.
