Default Re: Simple question...

Neps would be able to take even full sun if you acclimatise them to it over a period of time i.e. increasing the intensity bit by bit. I have seen plants in the wild and they are just out there in the open. No shade for the entire day and they are thriving with lots of pitchers. The only drawback is the leaves will get the sunspots and won't look as good as when they have more shade. N. x 'Red leopard' is a tough plant so I think it will do very well in brighter light.

But having said that, I am not sure about the ambient humidity in Panama. Where Neps are found naturally, the humidity can be quite high even in the open.
