Light for Nepenthes ?

[TranMinh]

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 cpnut,
First thank you for answer my question . you can see my picture of picher in my grow list. I have 6 hour of sun ( afternoon sun ) the light is verystrong but I just build a new grow house in the east so the light get weak ! I will take a picture of my old grow house.

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.
