Can Mirabilis take direct sunlight?

[kentosaurs]

Hi everyone

I recently got a mirabilis from a nice member here.....And there were cuttings and a basal separation...The basal already has quite a normal/large sized root system for its sized and its already growing and pitchering....It suppose to be a mirabilis red but now making green pitchers and the red pitchers has died of due to change of enviroment..So since mirabilis likes very high humidity i'm afriad of putting it out in direct sunlight since there humidity is very low but if i don't it'll be a green mirabilis lol Any suggestions?

I think mirabilis is a kind strong neps. If your mirabilis begin to grow normally after changing the enviroment, you can give it more sunlight. And I think mirabilis like sunlight very much.

Your mirabilis definally can take the morning direct sunlight you mention. But since it is in the shadier condition now, some leaves might burn. Just make sure the water tray is always filled for the first 1-2 weeks.

Hello Ken...
Just like David said, N.mirabilis can take the morning direct sunlight. I grow my directly under the full sun, without any shade. It receive not just morning sun but afternoon and evening sun as well...and not only the pitcher will turn red, the leaf will turn red as well. I’ll suggest that you move you plant slowly from shadier place to full direct sunlight. Just make sure to keep the soil moist.
