Default Light for Nepenthes ?

Hi all,
I don't know much about light for nepenthes. I use shade net 50% sun is that ok ? 70% shade net is ok ? I grow mirabilis and thorelli in full sun and other in shade 50%, picher is not colour much.

Hi Minh,
It depends on the species... Usually growers go for 50% shade net for most species.

You have to give more details on the growing condition and the age of the plant so we can help you access your problems better. Posting some pics will be a great help too...

Hi Minh,
After looking @ your pics, I think your N. mirabilis is already producing intermediate/upper pitchers which is usually green in colour.

I would say that you keep it what it is now. But I think that the mirabilis and thorelli should have reduced sunlight, maybe not full sun but some shade will do.

Cheers

My LL neps grow in direct sun light from 8:30am--12:30pm and very strong, I think LL neps can get more light, just the large plants.

Hello,

Just a little reminder... sun level in each location are diffrent, further more diffrent humidity,tempreture and airflow level are also very importhant for the wellbeing of your nepenthes plants,there are the 4 things that you wanna look into for your location...

As for my growing condition my full sun level on a normal sunny day the light level is pretty intence
and i opted on using 50% shade for all of my lowland neps and my tempreture level is 32-35'c day for a sunny afternoon, night tempreture 26-23'c at night with the humidi 60-70% day and 90-98% after dark... hope this helps

Regards
Jonathan
